Nixon Seeks 4.1 Billion Stockpile Selloff
President Nixon asked Congress to authorize selling 4.1 billion dollars worth of strategic stockpile materials no longer needed for security but needed to curb inflation. He warned price spikes risk higher consumer costs and said selling surplus could stabilize metals prices while preserving enough stock for a year of major conflict. The stockpile now totals 6.7 billion in value with key holdings in aluminum copper lead silver tin tungsten and zinc.
