House action expected on higher education bills today
Springfield House may pass higher education appropriation bills after failed attempts to trim funds. Debate centered on pay raises for university personnel and whether an amendment would apply prevailing wage rates to nonacademic and academic staff. Proposals to cut funding for U of I law school expansion and SIU starter money faced opposition from both sides as lawmakers argued over campus needs and master plan implications.

Kissinger to Visit China for Four Day Consultations
Henry Kissinger will travel to the People's Republic of China for a four day visit in June to hold concrete consultations with Chinese leaders. The aim is to further normalize relations and exchange views on shared interests. He will meet Premier Zhou Enlai and foreign ministry officials in Peking, with a stopover in Hawaii and Guam en route. Ziegler noted the trip covers a broad range of international topics and is not tied to Vietnam. The trip follows Nixon's February summit and precedes a separate cultural exchange by House leaders.
