OCR Page 1 of 3THE PRESIDENT'S
Reading Copy
September 16, 1969
After careful consideration with my senior civilian and
military advisors and in full consultation with the Government of
Vietnam, I have decided to reduce the authorized troop ceiling in
Vietnam to 484,000 by December 15. This compares with the
ceiling of 549,500 which existed when this Administration took office.
Under the newly authorized troop ceiling a minimum of 60,000 troops
will have been withdrawn from Vietnam by December 15.
Since coming into office, my Administration has made major
efforts to bring an end to the war:
We have renounced an imposed military solution.
-- We have proposed free elections organized by Joint
Commissions under international supervision.
-- We have offered the withdrawal of U. S. and allied
forces over a 12-month period.
-- We have declared that we would retain no military bases.
-
-- We have offered to negotiate supervised cease-fires under
international supervision to facilitate the process of mutual
withdrawal.
