Congress to focus on Viet Nam in new session
Congress will open January 1 with Viet Nam war as the dominant issue and labor, Great Society programs, and taxes likely to share attention. Members returning from Vietnam visits bring varied views likely to spark debate while funding and nonmilitary measures shape forthcoming actions. House Republicans push cutting nondefense spending and opposing new taxes. Democrat Wilbur Mills forecasts tax relief if spending remains restrained. House Speaker McCormack foresees no split over foreign policy and domestic aims centered on minimum wage expansion, unemployment compensation, and strengthening initiatives from last year.
