pretty much. 

I spent a few hours the other week for my fiat job tracing the history/evidence of that, and it's mostly just rumours on top of rumours... (you'd expect such an event to at least have a NYT picture or two??)

'65, when Euros started asking to swap paper to gold, but it wasn't honored nor addressed

 in the plenty of Europeans got their gold back (that story of French warship is probably fake, and the French repatriated gold from NYC all the way through the 1960s)

it was both honored and addressed. 
**Honored:** in the plenty of Europeans got their gold back (that story of French warship is probably fake, and the French repatriated gold from NYC all the way through the 1960s)
**Addressed:** the gold market imbalances, and gold flowing out of the U.S., was the constant talking point of the 1960s.
