The Pay Board faces a decision under Nixon's Phase II plan as public members oppose retroactive raises and favor extending the freeze beyond January. The House Banking Committee pushed for approval with limits, provoking a presidential critique and partisan dispute.

Foreign aid bill revived with 40 percent price cut
Nixon won new life for his foreign aid bill as the Senate Foreign Relations Committee cut the package by 40 percent and split it into two parts totaling 2.3 billion dollars. A key vote hinged on a proxy from Sen Mundt after his stroke, with Muskie absent. The plan aims to avoid expiration of aid authority on November 15 and extend funding to June 30 amid tight Senate margins.
