Nixon is expected to announce another troop withdrawal later this month. Though the White House bristles at any suggestion that the timing was more than coincidence, the Administration is obviously not sorry that it occurs when Congress convenes and the nation's colleges reopen. Nixon's main domestic pressure is to reduce the U.S. involvement in Viet Nam to a minimum.
