Milton J. Shapp and W. J. Usery Jr led a negotiated agreement with truckers aimed at letting independent owner operators return to work. Pittsburgh steel haulers spokesman William Hill backed the plan and urged calm while talks continued.

Nixon cites executive privilege in short letter to Gesell
President Nixon submits a five paragraph letter to U S District Judge Gerhard Gesell arguing the court lacks power to resolve the dispute over withholding White House tapes from the Senate Watergate committee. He asserts executive privilege for all five tapes, saying disclosure could hinder future prosecutions and the public interest. The letter follows Gesell’s January order calling prior privilege claims too general.
