White House limps on women programs amid Watergate fallout
Washington AP reports President Nixon's White House effort to promote women has largely collapsed as Watergate distracts officials. The Office of Women's Programs is down to one secretary, with key appointees gone and no clear successors. Staff members warn of delays to a planned White House women’s conference and high level posts, while Anne Armstrong remains stretched between projects and defense duties. Armstrong insists progress continues, but observers call a “dead period” likely until regrouping. Colorado issues new handicapped license plate with a stylized wheelchair design.
