Cranston Pays Most for Rent Among Senators
A Senate expenses report shows Senator Alan Cranston paid the highest annual rent for privately owned home state office space, totaling about 5,105.16. The analysis notes Cranston shifted from federal buildings to private offices in San Francisco and Los Angeles, with Greenaway citing potential taxpayer savings if unused federal space is reassigned. Critics say GSA rates in Los Angeles and other locations may be unfair, inflating costs for the Senate. Tunney also noted for comparison that his main offices were in federal buildings with lower private-office rents.

The House Select Committee on Assassinations requests 36.5 million dollars for a one year budget to probe the JFK and MLK killings, a figure 13 times higher than three months ago. Richard Sprague, directing the inquiry, defends the cost as bare bones and warns cuts could make the task impossible. The plan adds staff to 170 and funds salaries and travel, with Nixon impeachment costs cited for context.
