Former Federal Reserve chair William McChesney Martin urged the Nixon administration to adopt wage and price guidelines as part of a stricter fight on inflation. He called Nixon's abandonment of the policy "self-defeating" and warned the move would not deliver full employment without inflation. Nixon had scrapped guidelines in January 1969, saying they were ignored and useless, aiming to curb inflation through spending restraint and tight money policy.
The board, headed by Gen Frank S. Besson who retired in September, criticized the Johnson administration’s Vietnam buildup. Appointed last year by Deputy Secretary David M. Packard, it argued the US misread the war’s likely duration and relied on rapid force expansion. It noted lack of reserve call ups and no lead time for logistic planning.
