Nixon faces third deficit but frowns on higher taxes
President Nixon faces a third straight annual deficit and rules out new or higher taxes in next year's budget. With a potential deficit up to 15 billion dollars, he520 directs the Office of Management and Budget to tighten spending while considering selective tax measures that would not raise overall revenue. Some options include a leaded-gasoline tax and reforms to inheritance and gift taxes, though these would yield limited revenue. Nixon also set rigid budget ceilings for each agency and shifted budgeting oversight away from the Budget Bureau to the OMB.

Senate backs consumer class action bill despite Nixon veto foes
The Senate is set to vote next week on a bill allowing a single consumer or a group to sue for all buyers of a defective product. The Nixon administration opposes, preferring a first-tilt federal agency ruling before suits. Senator Birch Bayh argues the measure aids middle income Americans and improves real consumer protection against deceptive warranties. Bayh sits on the Judiciary Committee which approved the bill.
