Mitchell Meets With Senate Watergate Panel Staff
Former Attorney General John Mitchell met with Senate Watergate committee staff ahead of his public testimony. He headed Nixon's reelection committee during the break in and is expected to be asked about approving bugging plans. The panel explores whether Mitchell informed the President about Watergate and cover up efforts, and whether payoffs to defendants were for legal expenses.

Strong foreign demand and smaller grain reserves push prices higher while exports trim meat dairy and feed output.
