Air Force Maj. Gen. J. C. Maxwell, director of the SST program for the FAA, says the project remains in good shape though the House did not appropriate new funds for the SST in the current fiscal year. He notes $186 million already appropriated but unused will keep the program moving as Boeing updates designs for the 1800 mph jet. Representatives of airlines that placed down payments on 122 SSTs will meet Boeing officials next Tuesday to review the situation.

McCarthy Won’t Lead Fourth Party Bid in 1968
Senator Eugene J. McCarthy rules out heading a fourth party ticket if he loses the Democratic nomination but open to backing a substantial independent drive under strict conditions. He may cancel his trip to Paris to meet North Vietnamese diplomats if it interferes with peace talks. Humphrey says he would back McCarthy if he wins the Democratic nomination. Nixon predicts a Nixon-Humphrey November ballot with McCarthy unlikely to lead a third-party effort.
