Nixon seeks 13.2 million to fight organized crime budget boost
President Nixon asked Congress for a 13.2 million increase to the Justice Department budget to target organized crime. The proposal would raise total 1970 funding to 730 million, with majorly expanded FBI staffing and vehicles to support strike forces across several cities, plus additional funds for U.S. attorneys, narcotics staff, and equipment.

Edwards seeks 37 percent cut in military funding
A Washington bill by Rep. Don Edwards would cap next year’s military spending at 50 billion dollars with about 30 billion in bloc grants to cities and counties. The plan ties the ceiling to Soviet defense power and proposes using 150 dollars per capita for local governments. It argues cuts could target defense research and overseas bases to reduce Vietnam war costs. The Alabama Higher Education Commission discussed government agency initials and Nabors criticized commissions.
