Times challenges Nixon era spying explanations
The New York Times reports a White House spy ring fed highly classified diplomatic information to the Joint Chiefs of Staff over 15 months starting in late 1970. Five high ranking Moorer aides allegedly urged Navy yeoman Charles Radford to pilfer “eyes only” messages from Kissinger, Bunker, and Swank, with Moorer’s own role remaining unclear.

Nixon proposes $304.4 billion budget to Congress
President Nixon sent a $304.4 billion fiscal 1975 budget to Congress promising no recession and flexibility to handle downturns while aiming to keep the deficit in check. The plan allocates about one third of spending to Social Security and welfare programs and roughly $87.7 billion to national defense, with health reform projects deferred and contingency spending drafted amid energy-driven uncertainty.

Official denies bread shortage or $1 loaf claim
Washington based Agriculture Department economist Don Paarlberg told a Senate agriculture panel there will be no bread shortage or $1 loaf prices in spring. He warned markets kept open should prevent flour shortages, countering Bakers' fears of record wheat prices sparking costly bread. He added no quick price rolls back and stressed ongoing interagency talks on trucking and energy matters amid a truckers strike.

Oil firms can solve crisis if left alone says Shultz
Treasury Secretary George P. Shultz testified that U S oil firms could meet up to 90 percent of domestic demand within three to five years if not burdened by excessive taxes or price rollbacks. He urged windfall profits taxes rather than punitive levies and warned against curbing production with price controls as he outlined the administration’s oil tax package before the House Ways and Means Committee.
