Magruder appeared solo after Proxmire was dropped, prompting FCC fairness concerns. Agnew may cast a tie breaking vote on the Senate SST measure as debate continues.

House Committee Boosts Volunteer Army with 2.7B Pay Increase
The House Armed Services Committee approved a 2.7 billion dollar pay rise for enlisted personnel, triple Nixon's request, as it added the measure to a draft-extension bill and granted the president authority to end undergraduate deferments. The move drew praise from lawmakers seeking an all volunteer force but faces potential opposition from the Nixon administration. The report to Congress also urged a national strategy to curb juvenile delinquency across inner cities and rural areas, highlighting fragmented federal efforts. Separately the Supreme Court refused to drop bribery and perjury charges against Rep John Dowdy and agreed to hear a recount challenge in Hartke's 1970 Senate race. The FDA ordered a gradual recall of Abbott intravenous solution linked to 350 bloodstream infections, 9 fatal. Lt William Calley Jr awaits verdict at My Lai court martial as proceedings resume with limited testimony and the judge's health issues.
