Texas senators rely on outside funds for office costs
Republican and Democratic leaders in Texas say Senate allowances fail to cover travel, postage, and staff needs. Tower and Yarborough describe fundraising efforts, personal loans, and small district clubs to pay bills. Yarborough requests $20,000 more for economists, lawyers, and engineers to aid complex legislation.

Apollo Moon Landing Outlook in 1969
NASA officials see a reasonable chance to land men on the moon before 1970. The Saturn V ground tests are deemed sufficient, with the first manned flight using the Saturn I booster planned for mid August under Captain Walter Schirra and astronauts Cunningham and Eisele. A subsequent Saturn V lunar landing mission would feature McDivitt, Scott, and Schweickart with docking and a space walk scenario to test emergency procedures.
