Worldwide alert of U S troops ordered
The Pentagon ordered a worldwide alert of U S military forces for precautionary reasons amid reports of possible Soviet intervention in the Middle East. Secretary of Defense James R. Schlesinger issued the order around midnight, with White House officials calling it precautionary. Senator Henry M. Jackson said the move followed a brutal Soviet warning that Russian forces would enforce a ceasefire if the U S did not join a peacekeeping force.

Bork seeks new plan to obtain Watergate evidence
Acting Attorney General Robert H. Bork negotiates with the White House on formal procedures to grant prosecutors access to Watergate material. He vows to fight in court if President Nixon blocks access but signals willingness to follow any agreed method or even judicial processes if needed. Bork distances himself from Nixon’s order on conversations and weighs creating a new independent prosecutor to depoliticize the Justice Department.
