Nixon vetoes child care bill rejects national program
Nixon vetoed a Congressionally initiated bill to create a nationwide system of child development and day care. He described the measure as fiscally irresponsible and unworkable, arguing it would weaken the family and expand federal power. The veto drew sharp Congress reactions and likely lack of votes to override.

Indian Forces Close on Dacca in Major Push
Indian government officials in Calcutta described waves of helicopters and river boats ferrying thousands of troops across the Meghna River toward Dacca. Command reports placed Dacca within reach within days, with 50 000 Pakistani troops in the city and heavy fighting along routes blocked by rivers and blown bridges. The East Pakistan operation aimed for a swift conquest to avoid UN cease fire pressure, while the Indian navy raided Karachi and East Pakistan ports to restrict Pakistani movements. Red Cross set up neutral zones in Dacca including the Hotel Intercontinental and Holy Family Hospital to shelter foreigners and evacuees.

The Vermont Supreme Court ruled unanimously that towns cannot distribute lease income from land to churches.
