Talks with U.N. chiefs fail to break peacekeeping arrears impasse
Secretary General U Thant met separately with U.S. Ambassador Adlai Stevenson and Soviet Ambassador Nikolai Fedorenko but no progress was reported in resolving the U.N. peacekeeping debt crisis. The United States warned it may reassess its overall U.N. funding if no-vote penalties for arrears are not enforced. The Soviet Union paid about 3.5 million dollars in its regular assessment, far short of the roughly 21.7 million needed to avoid losing voting rights.

New Immigration Law Proposed to Replace Quotas
President Johnson asked Congress to scrap the 40 year old quota system and adopt a skills and family based immigration law. The plan creates a first come first served system with preferences for skills and relatives and ends the Asia Pacific triangle provision. It would set annual quotas near 165000 with regional and refugee carve outs and broaden first preference to include more entrants, including parents of U.S. citizens.
