Nixon promised that in future, "We will continue to give the American people the fullest possible information on our involvement, consistent with national security."

His press secretary, Ronald L. Ziegler, said before the trip there was a good possibility a White House statement on Laos would be made this weekend. At the time, he said he did not expect Nixon to personally make a statement on Laos, a subject that is kicking up considerable controversy in Congress. Fears have been expressed on Capitol Hill that increased military activity in the Southeast Asian country is leading to another Vietnam-like involvement. Demands that Nixon detail the U.S.
