Senate votes on restrictive aid amid Cyprus talks
The Senate approved a 2.7 billion foreign aid bill limiting Turkish military assistance by February and curbing aid to repressive regimes, while threatening UN funding changes. Kissinger condemned the move as a major mistake as White House and Congress clash over Cyprus policy. In Illinois, a federal grand jury indicted 10 lawmakers and eight others on conspiracy, bribery, extortion, and mail fraud tied to 1971 72 schemes involving cement and car rentals. Watergate jurors discharged after serving a record long inquiry reporting to the nation on matters at the heart of the republic.
