Congress Votes To Curb Spending and Pay Increases
Congress passes a 5.5 million federal pay raise for workers and servicemen, raises postal rates, and approves a $1.61 billion Office of Economic Opportunity appropriation. Senate supports a 10 percent federal spending cut, with details on rate hikes and exemptions. A separate Georgetown vs Syracuse game was interrupted by a bomb scare but concluded 85-72 in favor of Syracuse.
