Increased aid to Vietnam is likely after Nixon meeting Thieu
SAN CLEMENTE Calif IAP The White House sees economic aid to South Vietnam rising after Nixon Thieu talks. Ziegler said aid will be probably beyond current levels over 500 million annually. Both leaders condemned infiltrations of men and weapons from North Vietnam and warned of vigorous responses if truce violations continue. Thieu pressed for assurances on bombing raids. Nixon offered cautious support while indicating no public pledge. Thieu heads to Washington to meet Agnew after visiting veterans and prisoners and a Reagan dinner in Los Angeles.

A stalled revenue stabilization bill, unresolved appropriation measures, and a disputed 75-vote funding hurdle blocked early adjournment. The House adjourned after a quorum failed, while the Senate prepared amended copies, with final action now likely later in the week and potential obstacles including a $10 million wilderness preservation appropriation.
