It notes his censure by the Senate, failed 1970 reelection, and eventual passing at 64 after Connecticut voters rejected vindication, with broader reflections on judgment and sympathy.

Democratic Council calls for wage price policy to boost economy
The Democratic Policy Council issued a seven point program via the DNC advocating stronger fiscal and monetary support plus a wage price policy. It argues recovery is sluggish with unemployment at 6.1 percent and inflation rising 5.2 percent in early 1971, urging active government intervention with labor and management to restrain prices and wages. The plan favors fiscal stimulus over tax cuts and stresses Congress–President cooperation to restore employment and price stability before 1972 elections.
