...general disclosure of every Senator's financial holdings (which would, insisted Minority Leader Everett Dirksen, make Senators "second-class citizens") was not suggested. The code does propose that Senators file copies of their income tax returns with the committee-though in fact the committee already has authority to demand tax returns of any Senator. It sanctions acceptance by Senators of contributions to run their campaigns and to "defray the reasonable costs" of their offices, provided that any individual contribution of $50 or more becomes publicly disclosed...
...commonly admitted to be only a stopgap measure. In order to restore confidence in the dollar, the U.S. has to cool its overheated economy and reduce the payments deficit. There are a number of coolants available. The Federal Reserve can raise the discount rate in order to curb investment demand, which it has done, or it can take steps to check the growth of the money supply or even reduce it.

...guide will add 500 listings selected from over 100,000 books and articles on American history printed since 1954 to the 15,000 citations (some of which will be dropped) of the existing volume. The University Press is scheduled to publish the revision in early 1970, unless the great demand for the guide results in a decision to employ a computer to speed up the work...
