House Foreign Aid Cuts Spark Bipartisan Vote
The House approved a 2.8 billion dollar foreign aid bill for economic and military help to 19 nations, amid Johnson administration warnings. The vote, 249 to 0, reflected strong backing for economy in foreign aid, with riders opposing loan guarantees for wheat sales to Russia and a belief that aid is a weak, not pivotal, foreign policy tool.

Tax Idea Vetoed in California Legislature
A proposal to let California taxpayers file a carbon copy of their federal return and pay a fixed percentage of federal tax faced opposition from state employees fearing job losses. Supporters argue it would simplify filings, align tax systems, and potentially cut costs, with Alaska already using a 5.75 percent rate. The plan could reduce Franchise Tax Board expenses and reliance on federal audits, but critics warn it would cede state control over its tax code. The author urges trying the method for two to three years despite past objections.
