A bipartisan commission would oversee the fund, with private money allowed for minor party candidates and major party primaries. Mansfield backs public funding for presidential and congressional races. The bill faces stiff scrutiny and possible delays as amendments pile up.

Viets resume swap of political captives in Saigon
In Saigon the South Vietnamese government and Viet Cong restarted civilian prisoner exchanges after a two month halt. The first 107 captives were flown from Bien Hoa to Toc Ninh, dressed in black, given bread and sugar, with some rejecting the food. Controversy rose over delivering non Communist foes to the Viet Cong and the fate of neutralists and third force members per the Paris peace accord. A Viet Cong spokesman said some opposition figures could be released provisionally or stay with the Viet Cong. A pro Thieu Saigon paper reported the president may impose an economic blockade on Viet Cong controlled areas.
