Nixon proposes automatic cost of living linked Social Security hike
President Nixon proposes a 4.23 billion boost in Social Security benefits with an automatic annual cost of living adjustment. He calls for a 10 percent across the board increase in 1970 and a higher earnings base to 9,000 by 1972 while trimming future employer and employee contributions through 1976. The plan aims to shield retirees from inflation and end biannual benefit politics.

Nixon Rejects Arbitrary Vietnam Cutoff Dates
President Nixon told a news conference that proposed fixed withdrawal dates for U S involvement in Vietnam would undercut and destroy efforts toward a peace settlement. He blasted any 18 month cutoff as defeatist and dismissed Senate plans for an outright 1972 or 1970 withdrawal deadline. He also expressed support for Judge Haynsworth’s nomination and said he would not alter that process.
