The report states Oswald owned a title and carried one to the depository building, placing him in the sixth floor window when the three shots rang out. Cronkite noted later telecasts would address conspiracy theories while covering the events.
Henry H. Fowler warned of a Treasury crunch if the debt ceiling bill fails. The current temporary cap is 336 billion dollars, with a permanent 285 billion set to take effect at the start of the new fiscal year. The House has approved raising the permanent ceiling to 358 billion plus 7 billion after July 1, 1968. The Senate Finance Committee is expected to back the plan. The House also weighs compromise authorization for the National Teachers Corps at 135 million over three years, with 90 percent federal funding.
