The slate includes Frederick Kappel of AT T and Myron Wright of Humble Oil, among others, as rates panel members and top executives who would guide the board and the new agency.

U.S. Ambassador David Bruce said the latest Communist peace offer at the Paris talks presented no new elements but would be given serious consideration to keep negotiations alive. Viet Cong and North Vietnamese officials reacted angrily, urging reconsideration while emphasizing a coalition solution and a troop withdrawal by mid 1971.

Soviet actions in Jordan cools hopes for Middle East peace
UPI reports that the Nixon administration grew disillusioned with Moscow’s role in Jordan and the Arab-Israeli conflict. Washington officials questioned Soviet restraint after Egypt’s missile moves near Suez and Syria’s intervention. As Jordan’s King Hussein gains the upper hand, prospects for resuming Israeli Egyptian talks appear dimmer amid cooler U.S.-Soviet ties.
