House Group OKs Paying War Claims
The House Rules Committee cleared for action a compromise bill to pay remaining Philippines war claims. It sets individual payments up to 25 000 Canadian dollars, funds an education account with the balance, and imposes penalties on former War Damage Commission members or agents accepting fees. The measure, already approved by Senate, aims to curb lobbying by John O'Donnell and contrasts Fulbright’s prior lump-sum plan of 73 million.

William Broomfield and allies oppose U S funds for the government owned Bokaro plant abroad, citing waste and lack of economic justification. The administration has not decided on a U S loan up to 512 million for the first construction step, with further funds possible in 1977.
