Congress May Fight Nixon Over Spending Powers
Congress weighs tighter control of federal spending amid pushes to curb presidential impoundment. House Rules Committee hearings advance a budgeting reform bill aimed at creating joint budget committees, a legislative budget director, and a May 1 target for appropriations policy. Debate may modify the plan before passage, while bills on impoundment face Tuesday consideration. A second item notes a piano competition by the Walter W Naumburg Foundation offering $2,500 top prize and recital opportunities with rounds leading to finals at Town Hall.
