Agnew Pledges U S Support to Nationalist China in Taipei
Vice President Spiro Agnew assured Chiang Kai-shek in Taipei that Washington remains committed to its pledges to Nationalist China and opposes moves to ease ties with Communist China. He spoke at a banquet after a Saigon visit, signaling support for the 1955 mutual defense treaty amid tensions over U S policy shifts.

The Senate Transportation Committee chair, Alan Short of Stockton, urged raising California fuel taxes to finish the highway network. He stopped short of proposing a specific rate, but suggested gasoline tax rise from 7 to 9 cents per gallon and opposed diverting fuel revenues to other transit uses. A special fund would finance alternative transport with revenues from vehicle registration, licensing taxes, sales taxes on vehicles, and fines.
