The target company is the one the United Auto Workers concentrates on as the expiration date— 11:59 pm Sept It’s the one that if no agreement down shut gets is reached while its competitors continue to produce cars at the upcoming talks UAW 1970 In Ijeonard Woodcock start of a new model year president surprised everyone when Chrysler and GM were chosen as twin targets —the first time that was ever done Each UAW official has his own favorite target But no decision will be made until after the Labor Day holiday just two weeks before the contracts expire But auto executives take a different approach "We always go into tions assuming we'll be the strike target" says one high official "Then if we're not it's The speculation this year centers on Ford and Chrysler General Motors is being ruled out by most observers because it was closed in 1970 for 67 days and is so large that workers would have no strike benefits if it was closed again The $50 million strike fund would last longest at Chrysler which many feel was let off the kind of a relief" explosive issues is that the NATO allies and the American public will be tempted to lower their guard prematurely They are concerned that: —Congress and the American public now will be more inclined to support proposals to bring home some or all of the approximately 300000 US military men in Europe most of whom are in Germany —The NATO allies foreseeing an era of decreased tension in Europe and focusing increasingly on matters of trade and finance will be even more reluctant than usual to fulfill their financial and manpower commitments to NATO The Nixon administration argues that maintenance of a strong allied front in Europe has been a major factor in pursuading the Kremlin to seek peaceful accommodations with the West They also are convinced that Nixon could not have achieved his diplomatic breakthrough in Peking if it had not been for China's respect for US determination to keep its commitments in Southeast Asia However these are the same UJ5 officials who have always argued that the Kremlin's primary objective in Europe was to secure the dissolution of the NATO alliance Whether Nixon can thwart this objective without endangering his "era of negotiations" depends on whether Brezhnev's need for US credits equipment and technical knowhow is as great as the White House believes it is on June 30th By
