Under Secretary Paul A. Volcker testified before Congress that the dollar has not declined against countries that account for about three quarters of U.S. trade. He noted the roughly 10 percent drop since the March floating-rate system has been confined mainly to a few European currencies.

A Senate subcommittee cut most of the defense budget items for new strategic weapons sought last year for arms control with the Soviet Union. It eliminated funding for a mobile intercontinental ballistic missile, a Navy submarine launched strategic cruise missile, and sharply reduced early funds for Army missile defense systems.

Beef Ceilings Questioned AmidPredictions of Shortages
Angry beef processor charged there is no logic in continuing price ceilings, arguing shortages will worsen in late August and lift prices further after removal. Some processors accuse the Nixon Administration of keeping ceilings to appease consumers and aid wage bargaining within a 5.5 percent guideline.
