Prouty disputes attendance data in public clash
Vermont senator Winston Prouty offered to show his committee attendance and those of 36 colleagues to newsmen off the record, but reporters declined. He rebutted Hoff’s charge of missing 83 percent of meetings, saying executive-session attendance is above average and urging fairness in reporting. Hoff criticized Prouty’s broadcast defense as focused on attendance rather than issues.

Hanoi edges toward negotiations in Paris peace talks
In Paris the 90th session of the Paris peace talks made no progress as Xuan Thuy urged Americans to join forces with Hanoi to back a communist end to the war. U.S. Ambassador Bruce said Washington rejected Hanoi's demands and remained flexible, while Thuy accused Nixon of using peace as political manipulation amid a lack of willingness to negotiate. The anniversary of LBJ halting bombing marked no shift in the Communist stance.

Head Start funds cut in Nixon plan facing Congress
The Nixon administration warns local Head Start offices of budget cuts that could reduce services and turn children away. Congress will decide the Office of Economic Opportunity budget after the election recess, with the program serving 263,000 children aged 3 to 6 and facing a shortfall even if the full $339 million request is approved. The Senate backs the request, while the House favors a $17.7 million cut, signaling a tight fight ahead.
