Pentagon eyes faster drawdown of US troops
Congress may accelerate the plan to cut U.S. forces to prewar levels by scooping up a $2.7 billion annual pay increase. Deputy Secretary Packard warns a fixed budget would hit national security, forcing base closures, a 6 percent defense contract cut, housing delays, and a 374000-man cut to reach about 2.3 million by mid 1972. Troop levels peaked at 3.5 million in 1968 and now stand near 800000 worldwide under Nixon’s drawdown.
