Miller proposes withdrawal after POW exchange in South Vietnam
Iowa Senator Jack Miller introduces a joint resolution to withdraw all U S forces within 12 months after all prisoners of war are exchanged. He says the plan secures POW returns and accelerates U S withdrawal, without fixing a withdrawal date, and contrasts it with end the war proposals. The measure supports Nixon's Vietnamization and a residual force tied to POW negotiations.
