Nixon Uncaps Flexible Plan to Narrow Inflation
President Nixon created separate citizen boards to curb post-freeze wage and price increases with the goal of cutting inflation in half by end of 1972. The plan keeps caps on dividends and interest and bans windfall profits for business as part of a broad Phase II program after the freeze ends. Major corporations and unions would need approval from the new Pay Board or Price Commission before raising wages or prices, with appeals to the courts. Treasury Secretary Connally was to explain details at a noon briefing.
