Nixon Pledges Prosperity Plan With Limited Controls
President Nixon asked Congress for a strong 1971 economic program asserting more jobs and business support while rejecting price and wage controls.

He promised to rely on free markets and legitimate government powers to curb inflation without broad price controls.
