Ford seeks Viet aid and troop evacuations in new request
President Ford asks Congress to approve 722 million in military aid for South Vietnam plus 250 million for humanitarian relief and up to 200 thousand Vietnamese to be evacuated. Lawmakers predict rejection of arms aid but support limited authorization for evacuations, to be used only to protect Americans. The speech draws little applause in a grim, sparsely attended session.

Utility firms oppose core catcher in breeder reactor
Congressional investigators say utilities oppose including a core catcher in the breeder reactor demonstration project.
