Nixon Promises Economy Upward and Cease Fire Hope
President Nixon told a Century Plaza news conference that Israel should consider joining Egypt and Jordan in a 90 day cease fire while talks proceed. He stressed no military standstill would jeopardize Israel and urged Congress to speed environmental protections and avoid overtaxing the budget as the economy is expected to move upward in late 1970. He defended federal campus unrest efforts, urged cooperation rather than coercion on desegregation, and noted talks with the Soviet Union on arms limitations.

Poll Tax on Lead Additives Aims to Cut Smog and Raise Funds
The Nixon administration pushes a 1.6 billion annual tax on lead additives in gasoline to curb air pollution and fund federal needs. Other proposals include accelerating gift and estate tax payments and delaying excise tax cuts. Treasury officials say the measure would spur a switch to low or lead-free gasoline and bring in about 1.6 billion yearly, tapering as lead-free fuels spread. The plan accompanies broader tax measures and reflects urgent air quality concerns amid widespread smog on the East Coast.
