Nixon Legislation Seen Waiting for New Year
President Nixon told GOP leaders that most major proposals will be held over until next year with a green light for immediate action on those extending current programs. Red light items include postal reform, crime bills, welfare, manpower, revenue sharing, drug control, mass transit, unemployment, voting rights, and more. Some measures in green light include foreign aid, export control, food stamps, housing, student loans, education aid, and coal mine safety. Action this year urged on income surtax and tax reform, while draft reform appears unlikely. Senate debate has stalled on a $20 billion military authorization bill.
