Nixon Orders Federal Pay Freeze To Cut Costs
President Nixon proposed a six to ten month federal pay freeze affecting about 4.8 million workers to curb spending and spur peacetime prosperity. The plan could save up to 1.4 billion in six months, with 600,000 blue collar workers frozen from August 38 through February 15 and additional holds on raises for 1.36 million white collar workers and 2.88 million military personnel until July 1, 1972. Congress would have 30 days to object once back, after which the measure would take effect. Nixon urged bipartisan cooperation and stressed shared sacrifice to stimulate the economy.
