House Approves Moderate Change to Committee System
The House approved reforms to its committee system, keeping 21 standing panels but altering functions and procedures.

Ford pardon testimony delayed as jury sequestration aims for next week
President Ford’s Capitol Hill testimony on Nixon pardon is postponed by one week to allow time for jury selection and sequestration in the Watergate case. Judge Sirica and Rep.
