Nixon vetoes campaign spending limit bill
President Nixon vetoed a bill to cap radio and TV campaign spending, arguing it fails to solve the cost problem and may backfire. Democratic sponsors vow to override, with Hart predicting a tough two thirds vote. The measure would cap spending at seven cents per vote or twenty thousand dollars, whichever higher, and would affect presidential, senatorial, congressional, and gubernatorial races.

Drug Penalties Tightened Target Narcotics Traffickers
Washington lawmakers approve a bill shifting penalties from users to professional narcotics traffickers. The measure allows police to conduct no knock raids with judge approval, treats casual marijuana use as a misdemeanor, and imposes strong penalties on dealers while eliminating the death penalty and life imprisonment. The bill funds 26 million for treatment and rehab and seeks study of marijuana effects with strict controls on certain unregulated drugs.
