Chance Slim for Electoral Reform Bill
The Senate plans another vote on a constitutional amendment for direct presidential election but prospects for passage remain bleak. Democratic Leader Mike Mansfield will file a second petition to end debate, with a vote set for next Tuesday if approved by two thirds. Senate action continues on other matters as Bayh vows to force a filibuster-like delay to stall electoral reform.

Oppose Plan to Tax Air Passengers
Washington AP airlines and the Civil Aeronautics Board oppose President Nixon’s plan to tax air passengers to fund hijack countermeasures. CAB chairman Brown says government should cover passenger protection costs, while Volpe argues temporary guards paid by passengers and a long term screen at all terminal gates. The plan would raise international flight taxes from 3 to 5 dollars and domestic levies from 8 to 84 percent, drawing industry opposition led by Air Transport Association president G. Tipton.
