Nixon interest in strict anti gambling law proposed
The Nixon Administration urged Congress to pass the Illegal Gambling Business Control Act of 1969 to curb organized gambling. It would authorize wiretaps and create federal crimes for large scale gambling and for bribery of officials to hinder enforcement. The measure defines large scale as five or more people over 30 days with at least 2000 dollars in daily gross, excluding bingo and nonprofit lotteries.

He said there were no new initiatives or extra funds for hunger relief beyond a $15 million nutrition aid increase. McGovern proposed $1.8 billion for food stamps, boosting expenditures by $1.5 billion.
