Democrats Fail To Impeach Nixon On Tax Charges

Senate Filibuster Fails to Halt Consumer Protection Bill Vote
Sen. Abraham Ribicoff and Ralph Nader push to bring the House approved Consumer Protection bill to a cloture vote. The initial effort fell short by 10 votes but backers expect further rounds next week to overcome the filibuster. The bill would create a new agency to advocate for consumers on price health and safety with an initial budget of 15 million dollars and about 250 staff.
