Nixon imposes 90-day wage price freeze in inflation battle
President Nixon announced a largely voluntary 90-day wage price freeze and a plan to devalue the dollar through exchange rate reshuffling. He urged tax cuts, promised federal job cuts of 5 percent, and a six month freeze on federal pay to trim spending by 4.7 billion. Congress must act on tax and welfare reforms. The plan includes a 10 percent import surcharge on many goods with exemptions for petroleum and essentials. Nixon framed measures as a national effort to curb unemployment, curb inflation, and boost American competitiveness.
