Nixon Wins as House Votes Not to Overturn Veto on School Aid
President Nixon achieved a clear victory when the House refused to override his veto of a 19.7 billion dollar Labor and Health Education and Welfare bill. He argued the package was inflationary and exceeded the budget by 1.2 billion. House Republicans proposed a compromise granting Nixon discretion to withhold part of the aid under a no hardship commitment, potentially including 442 million for districts with many federal workers’ children.

Israeli raid near Cairo marks deep attack in 1967 style
Israeli planes struck targets within six miles of central Cairo in the closest raid since the 1967 war. Egyptian anti-aircraft batteries fired but no Egyptian planes engaged. Other Israeli flights hit Jordanian outposts north of the cease fire line to silence artillery. Egyptian reports said four Israeli warplanes hit El Maadi and Dahshur, killing three civilians and wounding 12 with three houses destroyed. Diplomatic sources say Egypt avoids challenge due to pilot shortages and MiG vulnerabilities. The raid, the fifth into the Cairo area this month, aimed to demonstrate weak Egyptian defenses.
