Jaworski urges Nixon truth with soul searching and healing
Jaworski said Nixon should publicly tell the American people the truth after Watergate and do soul searching. He noted Sirica’s sentences for Mitchell Haldeman Ehrlichman and Mardian were appropriate and may be reduced, stressing rehabilitation over prison length. Dean warned of potential danger to Mitchell and floated pardons if Ford’s political fate shifts.

Tax cut bill nears approval amid energy policy talks
White House officials view the 21.3 billion tax cut bill approved by the House Ways and Means Committee as largely acceptable and likely to be signed. Negotiations with Congress edge toward an energy policy accord, though major differences remain. The plan targets individuals under 20,000 dollars with rebates and lower withholding, while business taxes fall in 1975 and 1976. Ford prefers his own proposal but signals willingness to accept the Ways and Means bill to spur swift stimulus. Senate support for a larger cut is possible, and tariffs on imported oil aim to pressure quick action on energy programs.
