...major item is the public debt, which has risen from $323 billion to $373 billion since 1965. largely because of the deficits caused by the Viet Nam War. Interest payments on this debt for fiscal 1971 are expected to reach $ 19 billion, of which $11 billion can be traced to the costs of Viet Nam and past wars. The interest paid on the debt from World War II has amounted to about $200 billion...

The measure not only would empower the Attorney General to file enforcement suits against local governments but also would allow potential recipients of housing aid to sue in either federal or state courts to overturn local rules. Some opponents of the idea contend that Washington lacks authority to override local land...
