Senate backs postponement of federal wage increase
The Senate approved a six month postponement of the federal pay raise by a 51 to 42 vote, backing President Nixon's anti inflation policy. The move came as part of a wider wage price restraint effort, with arguments that federal workers should be treated like private industry. The House had already approved tax cuts tied to Phase 2 of Nixon's program, while critics warned the step could curb economic growth. The vote marked a rare instance of Senate action on wage raises amid the administration's new economic strategy.
