Congress in Showdown Ends With Budget Clash
Congress faced a stalemate over a 19.9 billion dollar appropriation as negotiators sought terms that would appease both chambers. Senate leadership planned to delay action until after the recess, while President Nixon signaled a veto threat if the bill ballooned beyond acceptable limits. Foreign aid fights persisted with objections to jet fighter planes for Nationalist China and extra Korea military aid, prompting a Senate decision to kill the compromise and redraw within a 1.6 billion ceiling.

In Athens police say three Arabs including an 18 year old man Issam Doumidi, 20 year old Sami Aboud, and a 22 year old woman Amoul Khatil were detained after explosives and arms were found as they prepared to hijack a TWA plane bound for Rome and New York. They allegedly planned to divert the jet to an Arab country and destroy the aircraft after landing.
