The House rejected almost 2 billion in Ford spending cuts and blocked a 4 million delay. Standby legislation to shield newly unemployed homeowners was approved by the House Banking Committee.

Assassination of Faisal Shapes U.S. Middle East Policy
Washington officials react to Faisal's assassination as a factor in a broader U.S. reassessment of Middle East policy. Kissinger calls Faisal a moderating force while Pentagon officials expect little change to over 1.4 billion dollars in Saudi arms sales and note no immediate worry for about 1,250 U.S. advisers and contractors in the kingdom. Senator Sparkman says Ford warned that the reassessment does not necessarily imply Israel aid cuts.
