The bloc pledged to freeze relations with Egypt, boycott Egyptian entities dealing with Israel, seek broader Arab League membership changes, and urge unity against what they call imperialism and Zionism.

FBI spied on Chicago MD for 30 years
Chicago faced a startling disclosure as the FBI tracked Dr. Quentin Young, chief of medicine at Cook County Hospital, from 1948 to 1975 across 3200 pages of reports. An undercover agent posed as a patient in 1966 to test falsifying a report for army service, a ruse that failed when Young referred the man to an orthopedic surgeon. The files also detail a woman linked to Young through a divorce in 1960, labeled in the documents as girlfriend, paramour, and mistress.

Carter faces hard tradeoffs to balance budget by 1981
Budget Director Alice M. Rivlin told the Joint Economic Committee that the president is unlikely to balance the budget by 1981 without unprecedented economic growth. She warned only optimistic nonfederal demand could meet goals, forcing hard choices among employment, programs, and a balanced budget. She urged large federal tax cuts and spending increases over five years to boost performance.
