Senate votes to keep federal funds for abortions alive
The Senate again rejects a House amendment to ban federal funding for abortions. The vote 223 to 160 keeps current funding levels for Labor and HEW programs at 56.6 billion for the year while clash over abortion policy continues. Strong opposition argues the measure targets poor women and ignores constitutional limits. Supporters say the amendment reflects a federal stance against funding abortions and aligns with Carter. Senate previously rejected the ban 57 to 28. The debate centers on whether any federal money should finance abortion procedures even in saving a life or in rape cases.

Jaworski says that bait was dangled during Watergate talks

He also notes the grand jury wanted Nixon to testify and recounts a suggested stunt to bring a group of tourists to obtain testimony. He suspects Nixon avoided destroying tapes due to greed for power and money.
