Bremer Plan to Kill Nixon Detailed in Diary Trial
The defense rested as prosecutors read Bremer diary passages describing his failed attempt to assassinate President Nixon in Ottawa. Bremer aimed at Nixon after failing to reach him at the motel, the Ottawa airport, and along the motorcade route, then shifted focus to Alabama Gov. Wallace. The diary reveals plans, fears, and a desire for notoriety, while Bremer's insanity defense contends he is not responsible for his actions.

Senate vote edges toward end of war language in war bill
The Senate approved an end the war amendment by 49 to 47, attaching it to a 20.5 billion Pentagon procurement bill. The plan would withdraw U S forces from Indochina within four months if Hanoi frees American prisoners and accounts for MIAs, with funds limited to withdrawal and protecting withdrawing troops. The House bill has no end the war clause and a conference could kill the provision. The White House signaled support for an Aiken amendment before Brooke's measure passed, while Nixon aimed to pressure settlement talks.

Seek To Add Gas Supply
The Federal Power Commission announced an optional rate making procedure to stimulate natural gas production. Producers may choose area rates or accept higher rates for oil from wells brought into production after April 6. Higher rates would push domestic gas exploration and delivery, aligning with consumer protection. The plan aims to authorize gas sales not previously deliverable to interstate markets and reduce rate uncertainty from the early 1960s.
