Nixon orders salary freeze and keeps controls in 1973
President Nixon ordered salary freezes for himself and other leaders while planning to extend economic controls beyond 1973.

Treasury Secretary Shultz and OMB Director Weinberger outlined the White House position amid Senate calls to end controls. Democrats argue the measures curb wages but do not restrain prices. AFL-CIO noted wage increases mostly align with the 5.5 percent guideline.
