Kissinger's Mideast mission fails in Geneva call
Kissinger's Middle East peace mission failed after 17 days of shuttle diplomacy between Egypt and Israel. Egypt demanded renunciation of the state of war, while Israel agreed to withdraw from passes and oil fields in exchange, but Egypt rejected the condition. The U S will reassess and push toward a broader Geneva conference with Soviet and Arab participation.

Alternate aid plan considered in U S policy discussion
A State Department official said Ford spent too long attacking Congress on Cambodia and Vietnam aid and too little on an alternate U S plan. Asian specialists plan a weekend study to craft a new statement and potential steps. The aim is a clear U S policy if Congress blocks aid, possibly urging Peking and Hanoi to press for a cease fire.

Panel argues Ford policies would cost $1.45 trillion output
The Joint Economic Committee says Ford economic policy would reduce output by about 1.45 trillion dollars from 1975 to 1980. It urges larger fiscal stimulus, predicting a 14 percent output gap this year and proposing deficits of 15 to 20 billion dollars in 1976. Treasury estimates put the total deficit near 80 billion. The plan calls for subsidies, unemployment benefits, a public works jobs program, and federal aid to cities and states, funded by disaster-like deficit spending.
