Nixon proposed a net increase of 25% over the 1971 budget in the funds that go from Washington outward. A total of $16 billion was involved in his proposal; only $6 billion would be new money. The President asked that $5 billion be handed over without strings of any kind for states and localities to spend as they wish. He would create an additional pool of $11 billion, containing $1 billion in new money and $10 billion cannibalized from existing, narrowly aimed programs that require matching grants at the state or local level.

In their mass rallies, the Falange faithful often take up a pointed chant: "Franco si, Opus...
...endorsement should become apparent in the next couple of months, when Franco is expected to respond to the military's demands that he reshuffle his 19-man cabinet. Among those likely to be shuffled out are the more liberal Opus Dei ministers who have been pushing the pragmatic, outward-looking foreign policy that-as the hard-liners see it-has led to permissiveness and the emergence of troublesome dissenters at home...
