...Force One and three other Boeing 707 jets will first touch down, next Sunday, at Melsbroek, a military airfield near the Belgian capital. White House press facilities are already being installed in the Brussels Hilton, and Nixon will stay either in that motel-modern setting or in the opulent apartments of former King Leopold II in the 18th century palace. At NATO's new headquarters on the outskirts of Brussels, the President is expected to address the 15 ambassadors of the NATO permanent council.* He will also meet Jean Rey, head of the Common Market executive commission...
...little attention in the past compared with urban poverty, but both problems will be covered in a new program scheduled for publication this week. In it, the Administration will outline its specific proposals for the use of tax incentives to promote job-producing industrial activity in poverty areas. The White House has also directed the Labor and Agriculture departments to study the feasibility of extending the Taft-Hartley Act to cover farm workers. This move, long advocated by the A.F.L.C.I. O., would give them the right to organize unions and bargain collectively under federal protection...
...such victories were no longer enough. After Farmer left CORE in 1966, he was dismayed to see his organization, which had been militantly for integration, suddenly turn toward separatism.

I don't know any place in the White House where the President could have a hearing room big enough to hear those who would want to discuss increases in taxes. But the main thing in my mind is that I just don't feel that taxes can be raised and lowered, season by season, or that they should...
Though Mayor Daley still has plenty of political clout, he seems nevertheless curiously diminished. With Nixon in Washington, Daley will no longer be receiving those friendly phone calls from the Oval Room of the White House, nor will he be sleeping in Abraham Lincoln's bed on Washington visits. When Humphrey called on the mayor last week, he may well have noticed a symbol of change in Daley's plush office on the fifth floor of city hall. The swinging door that was once supposed to indicate Daley's accessibility to the people has been replaced...
