Tax bill nears House floor amid amendments and timing

No communique planned for Ford China visit says White House
White House spokesman Ron Nessen said no communique will be issued at the end of President Ford's five day trip to China though signs from meetings with Mao Tse tung and Teng Hsiao ping have been positive. He noted the Nixon Chou Enlai summit in Shanghai produced a communique but this visit does not require one. The final talks with Teng Hsiao ping are set for Thursday morning. Nessen cited U S Soviet detente as a topic and mentioned Ford's daughter Susan attended a private banquet but appeared merely tired.
