Secretary Laird made the statement on his return to Washing- ton from the Midway conference. Laird said: "I believe we return closer to peace and now have a program moving forward to change the role of the United States forces in Southeast 4sia. I believe our program to improve and modernize the forces of Vietnam will bear fruit. The program will be under continual review and another decision will be made early in August." The secretary said a task force will meet in Hawaii Thursday to determine which troops will be withdrawn first. He said: "The task force will include representatives of the Army, Navy and Air, Force, and of their sea and air transport sections, as well as delegates from the office of the Secretary of Defense."
