Hidden Viet subsidy linked to U S exchange rates
The House Government Operations Committee finds a hidden U S subsidy to South Vietnam totaling about half a billion dollars over three years, driven by inequitable exchange rates. It urges Nixon to obtain an equitable rate or cut U S aid, noting a looming budget deficit and gold drain. Three Republicans dispute the report as simplistic and biased.

U S rapped for airport safety lack
The House Government Operations Committee faulted the FAA for penny pinching on airport safety. It warned of tragic consequences and cited Huntington West Virginia and New Haven Connecticut crashes that might have been prevented with Instrument Landing Systems. The panel said many airports would lack ILS towers or radar for years despite a 10 year plan costing 250 to 300 million dollars annually.
