President Nixon sent Congress a record $229.2 billion budget for fiscal 1972, aiming to spur growth with a full employment budget. The plan projects an $11.6 billion deficit and $217.6 billion in receipts, along with expanded defense health welfare and a major revenue sharing push to state and local governments. The administration says the approach seeks prosperity without war or inflation, targeting 4 percent joblessness by mid-1972 amid a current 6 percent rate.
