Congress Urged to Build Lake Erie-Ohio River Canal
The U.S. Army Board of Engineers recommends Congress authorize the Lake Erie to Ohio River canal, clearing a major hurdle for the $948 million project announced by Rep. Kirwan and Rep. Bow. Ohio Gov. Rhodes also unveils a $25 million Transportation Research Center to be built near East Liberty by Ohio State University. President Johnson asks Congress to suspend tax breaks and cut federal spending as he outlines a five point plan to fight inflation. A panel is appointed to determine Richard Speck's sanity for trial while Charles Whitman’s brain tumor is noted as a secondary factor in his Texas tower rampage. Senate leaders face absenteeism and a predicted dead civil rights bill, and Johnson signs new traffic safety legislation to reduce highway deaths and injuries.
