...better in Viet Nam than they had in June. That was when he declared that he hoped to beat a timetable proposed by ex-Defense Secretary Clark Clifford, who called for withdrawal of all U.S. combat troops by the end of next year. Privately, Nixon told a group of Republican Congressmen last week that nearly all U.S. troops will probably be out of combat before the November 1970 elections.

John Sherman Cooper of Kentucky has been getting no answers to his letters to Postmaster General Winton Blount; when Blount invited Cooper to his office recently to talk over a Post Office problem, Cooper refused to come. Colorado's Peter Dominick is still seething over a contretemps with a second-echelon Treasury Department official, and even Karl Mundt of South Dakota-a staunch Nixon loyalist-complains of the "remoteness" of Administration staffers...
