Nixon calls for nationwide support as Vietnam pullout plan outlined
President Nixon announces a plan to withdraw 20 000 U S troops by July 1 while continuing bombing North Vietnam until Hanoi halts its invasion. He urges U S citizens to back the program and warns Congress and the public against letting Hanoi win. The plan would reduce U S forces to 49 000, under 10 percent of the 549 000 authorized. Nixon says South Vietnamese forces bear the brunt and that no more Americans will be involved. He also resumes Paris peace talks, promising productive progress.
