Congress approves temporary debt limit rise to 395 billion
Washington AP Congress raises the temporary national debt ceiling to 395 billion and sets permanent at 380 billion. The Senate passed the measure and sends it to President Nixon for signature. The old permanent ceiling was 365 billion, with the temporary 395 billion in effect until June 30, 1971. The bill comes as Treasury officials warned a failure to raise would block refinancing of maturing debt. The vote on the bill occurred after defeating an amendment to suspend congressional pay raises.

Reagan's Budget Blocked Sparks California Budget Crisis
In Sacramento, Gov Ronald Reagan's 6.59 billion state budget failed by two votes in each house as Democrats blocked it, leaving California with no authority to pay bills and prompting a 1 a.m. news conference where Reagan warned of a possible 500 million tax increase and a threatened shutdown of state services.
