The commission's report was based on a study by Dr. Mary Berry, provost of the division of behavioral and social sciences and a professor of American constitutional history at the University of Maryland. in the report, the commission criticized the proposed constitutional amendments. It said they would be inconsistent with the 1 st Amendment because "they would give governmental sanction to one set of moral and religious views and inhibit the free exercise of any other views on the issue of when life begins."

But Communist gunners, striking 14 miles from Saigon, blew up an ammunition dump near the vital Bien Hoa airbase which houses what remains of the South Vietnamese air force. The explosion, one of several blasts felt in Saigon Monday night and early Tuesday, shook buildings in the capital. There were no immediate reports of casualties or damage at the sprawling, American-built airbase. Field officers said government troops had time. Did Connally accept $5,000 from Jacobsen in May, 1971, and an additional $5,000 the following September? I did not," Connally replied. "Did he give you any money at any time while you were Treasury SecretaryT "No sir, he did not." Connally did testify that Jacobsen approached him on June 25, 1971, and told him the dairy industry had $10,000 available lor him to use for any political candidate or campaign he designated. "I told him t did not think I could do that at all in good conscience," Connally said. "I did not think I should participate in fund raising as a Democrat ' in a Republican administration, which is somewhat delicate, and I did not want to be raising money for Democrats while in a Republican -administration. "I thanked him very much, and that ended the conservation." Connally said Jacobsen came to talk to him again in August, 1972, when the former governor was setting up an organization of Democrats supporting President Richard M. Nixon's re-election.

North Vietnamese forces had the devastated city surrounded and rained rocket, mortar and artillery fire on the defenders. Xuan Loc was vital to the government as a key point on one invasion route to the nation's capital and as a morale boost to a nation hungry for a victory. In Washington State a State Department oificial told Congress Monday a plan would be ready in two days for evacuating what one congressman estimated to be as many as 400,000 South Vietnamese whose lives would be endangered by a Viet Cong victory. Phillip C. Habib, assistant secretary of State for Far Eastern Affairs, refused to give a total of persons the State Department was considering for evacuation, congressmen present said, but the panel's own estimates range from 150,000 to 400,000. Habib repeated administration requests to evacuate Americans and their dependents, third country nationals who worked for the U.S. government in South Vietnam and high and middle echelon South Vietnamese officials who would risk reprisal by the Communist if they stayed in South Vietnam alter it fell to communist control. The Communists already control 19 of South Vietnam's 44 provinces and two thirds of its territory.
