Nixon Seeks Congress Support for Summit and Arms Pact
Nixon urged Congress to approve the summit plan and the arms control pact as viable, with a Senate majority needed for the executive agreement. Only a small fraction of lawmakers attended the joint session, yet Nixon framed the Moscow and Peking talks as a major step toward world peace and U.S. security. He defended the treaty limiting offensive missiles and called the 1972 effort a historic turn toward lasting peace, while critics warned the arms ceilings favor the Soviets. He noted the Warsaw reception and outlined few details of talks with Brezhnev.

Humphrey slams McGovern plan as politics of deceit
Sen. Hubert Humphrey denounced Sen. George McGovern’s proposal of a $1,000 per person income supplement as “the politics of deceit.” He warned it would require higher taxes on workers and vowed to oppose it if elected or remain a senator to block tax hikes. He noted McGovern’s long-standing wage subsidy plan and contrasted it with his own focus on jobs and tax relief. Humphrey campaigned in California ahead of Tuesday’s primary, urging a $16 billion tax loophole closure to fund property tax cuts and education funding, while dismissing write-in votes for Wallace.
