Rising meat prices spark talk in Congress of scrapping the 1964 import quota law. Rep. Benjamin Rosenthal argues the law is a standby sword while Nixon has suspended quotas for Australia.

Negotiators See Jarring Note After Fire Bombing at Pine Ridge
At Wounded Knee South Dakota Sen George McGovern and Sen James Abourezk said a negotiating session with 200 AIM militants ended on a jarring note when a home linked to leader Aaron Deseras was fire bombed during talks. Eleven hostages freed, but many militants stayed in the village as federal marshals tightened their siege. The leaders pressed for a Senate subcommittee hearing into treaty violations and BIA corruption amid the tense standoff near Pine Ridge Reservation.
