Enemy on Hamburger Hill Again
North Vietnamese troops possibly as many as 1000 have returned to Dong Ap Bia, Hamburger Hill, after a prior U.S. assault. Maj. Gen. John Wright, commander of the 101st Airborne, says he is prepared to commit the entire division if needed, though no ground assault plans exist now. Wright notes Hill 937 is terrain like any other and speculates the NVA may use the hill to anchor a perimeter guarding supply caches in the A Shau valley or radio base.

Congress Votes to Repeal 7 Percent Investment Tax Credit
House Ways and Means Committee backed repeal of the 7 percent investment tax credit and moved to consider extending the income tax surcharge. Acting Chairman Boggs said a depreciation provision to spur investment in equipment and curb pollution was added. A vote on the surtax extension was expected soon with Nixon proposing six months at 10 percent and six months at a lower rate. Debate highlighted division over continuing credits for small businesses and certain sectors while delaying excise tax cuts on calls and telephone service. Liberal Democrats urged a full year extension only with broad tax reform to close loopholes.
