A 1968 69 herbicidal survey by a commission led by Dr Matthew Meselson reported higher stillbirth rates in one heavily defoliated South Vietnamese province, limited statistics hindering firm conclusions.

Congress Burrals to Cambodia and adjournment hurdles
Congress narrowly approved Cambodia troop involvement by a 70 to 2 vote while a compromise on POW rescue language failed. A Senate House conferee deleted Cambodia language as adjournment loomed, and social security increases faced a stalemate with Mills predicting a compromise by early February. The SST funding fight threatened adjournment after a filibuster and a new conference was sought.

Washington officials said the monthly Medicare premium for 19.5 million aged enrollees will rise to 5.60 from 5.27 starting July 1, a 6 percent increase to cover higher physician fees and rising use of services. HEW notes premiums fund the doctor reimbursement trust, with the government matching from general revenues. Critics call the rise burdensome for seniors amid inflation and rising costs.
