Williams warns Johnson budgets would yield deficits even with surpluses
Senator John J. Williams, a Delaware Republican and Treasury watchdog, told the Senate that Lyndon B Johnson’s fiscal year budgets would flip to deficits even if adopted as is. He argued Johnson counted Social Security and trust funds to show surpluses, though trust funds cannot finance general government expenses. Williams warned the 1969 outlook requires borrowing about 6.9 billion dollars if the budget remains unchanged.

Why The Treaty Is A Note In The Nuclear Debate
William F Buckley Jr argues that Nixon may sign the non-proliferation treaty as part of a broader settlement to curb West Germany from gaining nuclear arms. He raises concerns the treaty is symbolic or merely avoids addressing real guarantees for small nations, and questions the feasibility of automatic defense against Russia. Buckley notes Spaak’s skepticism and implies the treaty may be used to advance a political settlement in coming weeks.
