Bombing Halt Clash Tests Nixon Budget Stand
The Senate appropriations committee moved toward forcing Nixon to choose between stopping the Cambodia bombing or funding federal pay. An anti bombing amendment barring funds for U S operations in Indochina passed 7 6, with other bills guiding military action in Cambodia and Laos sent to the full Senate. The measure ties to the continuing resolution needed to fund agencies after the fiscal year ends Saturday night as no new appropriation bills have cleared Congress. Senate critics insist the President must halt bombing. Nixon aides warn of possible government paralysis if funding stops.
