Federal workers exempt from post freeze pay rules
The Cost of Living Council exempted all federal employees from post freeze wage controls, enabling about 5 billion dollars in pay raises by mid 1972. The ruling waives advance notification for large industries under contracts due by Jan 1, and allows price hikes within the 2.5 percent yardstick. It promises a near 15 percent military raise and maintains other delays and exemptions while stressing inflation control and policy consistency.

Senate votes income tax cut and extended unemployment aid
The Senate approved a tax cut by increasing personal exemptions to 800 for 1972 and beyond, 40-37, with House reconciliation looming. The plan would cut about 50 dollars for a typical four person family earning 12,000 and cost roughly 1.8 billion annually. A Magnuson amendment would extend unemployment benefits by 26 weeks in about 15 states, raising 1.5 billion in costs and 400 million in payroll taxes, expanding eligibility in numerous states and Puerto Rico.
