Connally Defends Nixon Job Policies Before Congress
Treasury Secretary Connally defended Nixon administration job creation plans before Congress while warning that reaching four percent unemployment without inflation will be very difficult. He reiterated aims to cut unemployment to five percent by year end and to avoid new taxes including a value added tax. He clashed with Senator Proxmire over deficit budgeting and cited a Treasury staff view that four percent unemployment without inflation may be impossible. Connally stressed four percent is a budget-forecast figure and expressed a personal goal of zero percent, noting inflation must be controlled first. He predicted inflation below three percent by year end and hailed the wage-price freeze as a success while warning of an upcoming price bubble before Phase 2 controls take effect.
