United States wage policy debate centers on retroactive raises held during the wage price freeze. Senate Banking Committee voted to override the Pay Board and approve retroactive raises unless Nixon finds them unreasonably inconsistent with Phase 2 guidelines.

AFL-CIO leaders oppose Phase 2 guidelines, urging continued Pay Board scrutiny.
