Health reform stalls over employer mandate and trigger option
Clinton and lawmakers debate health reform with the employer mandate under pressure. Trigger proposals would delay any mandate until coverage goals are met, aiming to expand insurance via voluntary reforms, portability, and pools while critics warn millions may remain uninsured. Joint studies and GOP objections shape the contest between mandatory coverage and market based changes.

Military backs government limits access to strategic zone
In Port au Prince the army backed regime barred journalists and observers from sensitive areas including the border with the Dominican Republic and state broadcasting sites. The decree, issued by provisional President Emile Jonas Saint, threatens immediate expulsion of foreigners and legal penalties for Haitians in the prohibited zones. U.S. officials condemned the move as intimidation and called for freedom of movement and coverage. The decree follows a UN embargo and broader sanctions from President Clinton, with debate on potential international intervention. The emergency order was issued amid a nationwide state of emergency declared June 11.

Baltimore AP report cites John Ehrlichman saying Nixon considered nominating Vice President Spiro Agnew to the Supreme Court to remove him from the ticket. He noted Agnew would face Senate confirmation by a Democratic Congress, as vacancies loomed in late 1971 with resignations of Justices Black and Harlan. Powell and Rehnquist ultimately filled the seats.
