South Vietnamese troops abandoned Bastogne and Checkmate positions while U.S. allies fought back with tanks and air strikes. Civilians fled toward Hue and Highway 1 as the Quang Tri area faced intensified attacks and uncertain enemy strength.

Work Or Else Plan Added To Welfare Reform Fight
Washington AP The Senate Finance Committee voted 10-4 to strike President Nixon's family assistance plan from welfare reform and replace it with a workfare system. About 1.2 million able bodied adults, mostly mothers, would be moved from AFDC to a Federal Employment Corporation and required to work for any further payments, with pay possibly as low as $1.20 per hour. The remaining 1.9 million with preschool children would stay under AFDC. The panel rejected the guaranteed $2,400 annual family income for four. The plan is projected to cost $3 billion more than Nixon's proposal and would broaden aid to 29 million people under the substitute, up from 19 million under House bill and 11 million under current law. Committee Chairman Russell B. Long noted strong public support for work requirements. Sen. Griffin was absent as no Republicans supported the President.
