Nader urges Congress to reclaim spending powers
Ralph Nader urged Congress to reassert its constitutional powers to curb presidential impoundment. He criticized a bill requiring the President to notify and spend unless Congress consents within 60 days, warning it could let authorities hold funds indefinitely. He favored a tougher approach, while Nixon’s aides defended his actions amid highway and other program funding fights.

Budget as target for Congress to reassume vote
Sen. Hubert Humphrey of Minnesota urged Congress to seize the President’s budget as its rightful target and backed a bill to overhaul committees and create a Congressional Budget Analysis and Program Evaluation Office modeled on the White House OMB. He argued the budget reflects national priorities without broad consultation and that Congress lacks tools to assess spending needs.
