Agnew Urges Unity on Nixon Economic Plan at Governors Meet
Vice President Spiro Agnew urged Americans to set aside bickering and support Nixon's new economic policy aimed at inflation control.

The governors asked Agnew to lead liaison with Washington as tensions with federal and state relations surface. Police reported up to 25,000 Puerto Rico independence demonstrators marching near the El San Juan Hotel during the event.
