Kennedy, who led a car into a pond on Chappaquiddick Island, says the proceeding risks criminal action and seeks a closed hearing to shield witnesses and the press.

4 Percent Unemployment Seen Acceptable by Kennedy
Treasury Secretary Kennedy told the joint economic subcommittee that a 4 percent jobless rate is acceptable in fighting inflation but refused to specify how high unemployment could rise without altering anti inflation policies. Senators Symington and Proxmire pressed for a clear trigger point, noting experts fear job losses loom as a result of inflation curbs. Kennedy said there is no magic unemployment rate and that the administration will monitor timing to avoid a recession.
