Nixon abolishes wage price controls and shifts to self rule
President Nixon eliminated mandatory wage and price controls for most sectors and moved to a self administering system based on voluntary compliance. He kept controls only for food processing, retailing, and the health industry while asking Congress for a one year extension of wage and price authority. The change ends the pay board and price commission but retains a cost of living council and allows fast governmental action in special problem areas if needed.
