He said that the 29,000 already scheduled to be called in October would be spread out over the next three months. Nixon explained that the partial withdrawal of U.S. troops from Viet Nam was the reason for the cutback, and that in December, if all goes well, he would review the programmed January call-up for possible cuts.
