In 1969 the Nixon Doctrine called for allied nations, especially in Asia, to take more responsibility for their own defense.
The Nixon Doctrine stated the United States would honor all treaty commitments. Additionally, the US would assist in the defense of allies, but would only offer military and economic assistance to non-allies in accordance with treaty commitments. Thus, nations were expected to bear the primary responsibility for providing its own defense.
The Nixon Doctrine (also known as the Guam Doctrine) was put forth during a "Silent Majority" speech in a press conference in Guam on July 25, 1969 by U.S. President Richard Nixon. According to Gregg Brazinsky,[1] Nixon stated that "the United States would assist in the defense and developments of allies and friends," but would not "undertake all the defense of the free nations of the world." [2]
The Doctrine was also applied by the Nixon administration in the Persian Gulf region, with military aid to Iran and Saudi Arabia.[3] According to author Michael Klare,[4] application of the Nixon Doctrine "opened the floodgates" of U.S. military aid to allies in the Persian Gulf, and helped set the stage for the Carter Doctrine and for the subsequent direct U.S. military involvement of the Gulf War and the Iraq War. Not only for Middle East regions, but it applied to other Asian countries such as Philippines, Thailand, Vietnam, South Korea, and others which might be threatened by Communist aggression.[5] For example, Nixon Doctrine was applied to Foreign Policy of the United States on South Korea, and 20,000 of 61,000 American soldiers were evacuated from Korea until June, 1971.

the answer to this question is the Nixon Doctrine
There was no consensus on what were the key elements of the so-called Nixon Doctrine. From the Nixon administration side the doctrine was not a revaluation of military commitments but instead a contraction of the American forces at hand to meet its commitments with regards to the Vietnam War. The result had been increasing the defense budget not cutting it, nor cutting the rate of increase.It has to be noted that Nixon could not do that without the US Congress. The US military was not being constrained under Nixon, but the change was the organization of a large professional army. And, the CIA was moving towards using its assets in domestic security. The latter aspect was dangerous and on paper it never happened. The building of a professional army might have seen to be dangerous, but not so dangerous to the young men who would be now free of the draft.
United States v. Nixon, 418 US 683 (1974)President Nixon asserted the doctrine of Executive Privilege gave him immunity from being subpoenaed to produce his secret tapes of conversations regarding the Watergate cover-up.Executive Privilege is an implied constitutional right of the President to withhold information from the other branches of government (Article II). According to Nixon, the conversations were intra-branch, protected by the Separation of Powers, and non-justiciable (not amenable to resolution by a court) because the court lacked jurisdiction over the communications.For more information, see Related Questions, below.
