Liberal Democrats Push Tax Reform on Debt Bill
Liberal Democrats in the Senate seek two amendments to the debt limit extension bill to raise about 1 billion dollars a year and promote tax equity. Senators Birch Bayh Edward Kennedy Edmund Muskie and Gaylord Nelson argue the proposals would be a down payment on major reform, offsetting administration cuts and inflation. The move aims to use the debt bill as a vehicle since full tax reform action is stalled, with Mills planning a House bill before year end and the 1974 Senate Finance Committee delay evident.

Art of Summit Diplomacy Involves Fancy Gift Giving
President Nixon’s summit diplomacy with Brezhnev includes lavish gifts from both sides. Nixon provided a Lincoln Continental and $17,000 in items, while Brezhnev offered a silver samovar, goblets, a rug, and luxury tea services for Mrs Nixon. Previous trips to Moscow and Beijing featured autos, chess sets, porcelain, trees, and even muskoxen as exchanges between the leaders and their countries.
