The Cost of Living Council refused to impose controls on interest rates for now and will rely on voluntary restraints later. Rep. Wright Patman condemned the move as a poor holiday message to borrowers and accused President Nixon of violating the Economic Stabilization Act by exempting rate forms without stated reasons.
