Nixon Presses Hard Line Against Europe Troop Cut
The Nixon White House led a broad lobbying effort to defeat Senator Mansfield’s amendment to reduce U.S. forces in Western Europe. Administration officials including Secretary Rogers and General Goodpaster argued the cut would undermine NATO unity and deter negotiated pullbacks. Former presidents Johnson and Truman were urged to speak out, while senators Humphrey and Muskie opposed the Mansfield move, complicating the partisan dynamics.
