Nixon blames Congress for delay in legislation
President Nixon accepted part of the blame for delays in new government action and urged Congress to act now to meet national needs. He blamed Democratic Congress for hindering reform while praising bipartisan steps and warned against turning tax reform into a sharp cut that would destabilize the budget. He said reform is the watchword of his administration and released a message to Congress to spur passage of key programs. Two congressmen said Nixon is responsible for delays. Senate Leader Mansfield dismissed the complaint as part of system operation. Nixon urged focus on goals supported by a majority of the people.
