The Joint Committee on Atomic Energy urged ending Pentagon spending barriers, while Defense Secretary Clifford announced July 1 that the Pentagon would proceed with the high speed sub. Censored testimony quoted Rickover criticizing civilian officials as the panel warned Soviet subs are advancing faster.

Monday sessions in Miami Beach launch the platform committee hearings as Rockefeller tests a route to delegates against the Nixon drive. He pushes Vietnam policy as a central issue, proposing a four-stage peace plan with troop pullback, an international buffer force, and 74 000 U S troops withdrawn.
