White House Wiretaps Tie Into Privacy Laws War
Halperin accuses a coalition including Mitchell Haldeman Ehrlichman Haig Ruckleshaus and a local telephone company of a broad White House effort to pry into private lives of government employees. He argues the President claimed broad powers to wiretap national security threats without warrants in 1969 and 1970, while the 1972 Supreme Court required warrants for domestic targets. Damages proposed total at least 73,000 per tapped person per year, potentially far higher if the law is read as the text suggests.

The plan calls for a task force next week to study public education and meet the state Board of Education to discuss legislation and administering $200 million in school building bonds.

The state collected $9.8 million in revenues for the first months of the fiscal year, exceeding estimates and leaving a total surplus around $34 million. The option to purchase Greenbrier College for Women for $418 000 to convert into a mental health facility is to be exercised after July.

Iceland Britain clash over fishing limits and NATO stance
Iceland and Britain clash in a long simmering dispute over fishing rights and naval presence. Iceland extended its 50 mile limit prompting Britain to protest and deploy gunboats. Talks with NATO ministers yielded no settlement as Iceland demands withdrawal of warships while Britain links removal to Icelandic pledge not to harass British trawlers. The Keflavik base remains a pivotal NATO asset with U.S. personnel living on site amid Icelandic resentment of foreign troops.
