House backs Nixon and rejects two Vietnam deadline bids
The House supported Nixon on two Vietnam policy votes and refused to set a complete U.S. troop withdrawal deadline. A 254 to 188 vote defeated a plan for withdrawal by April 31, and 239 to 146 rejected a June 30, 1972 deadline tied to POW releases. The measures, atop a Defense procurement bill, were largely symbolic. The bill passed 331 to 58 after authorizing funds and a campus recruiting ban.

Senate backs two year draft bill despite Kennedy bid
The Senate rejected Kennedy's proposal to let draftees retain attorneys and witnesses 44 to 2 as it continued debate on a two year extension of draft authority. Supporters argued for broader counsel rights while opponents urged a quick end to debate to avoid expanding the draft. The chamber also defeated amendments pushing for an all volunteer force and higher ROTC scholarships amid pushback on the existing draft system. Ezra Solomon of Stanford was confirmed to the Council of Economic Advisers by voice vote, replacing Hendrik Houthakker who moves to Harvard.

He warned Vietnam veterans may be rewarded by hiding their service and urged correcting the record to guide younger generations toward truth and pride in the country and its freedoms.
