President Nixon announced vetoes of nine bills arguing they would break the budget by about 2.75 billion over two years.

Pentagon Rules Out Budget Cut In Vietnam War Costs
The Pentagon says there will be no dramatic reduction in the 76.5 billion dollar defense budget for the year starting July 1 due to any Vietnam peace settlement. Defense spokes man Jerry Friedheim cites depleted stocks from Vietnam countering North Vietnam spring offensive and costs from withdrawing U.S. forces and the 40,000 Korean troops. A cease fire would require all foreign troops to leave South Vietnam within 60 days of signing, while U.S. support for Saigon continues until a negotiated settlement. County forecast shows partly cloudy, cooler conditions with lows in the 40s and highs in the 50s, with modest precipitation chances.
