Hillis urges tax breaks to ease federal regulation costs
Rep. Elwood M. Hillis of Kokomo tells the House Ways and Means Committee that U S industry bears heavy costs from pollution control and OSHA rules. His bill would allow immediate deductions for expenditures mandated by federal law, including state-required costs, if they do not boost output. He cites billions yearly spent on EPA and OSHA compliance and projects tax revenue losses starting at 1978, declining as changes occur.

Postal Consumer Protection Week highlights misleading mail-order ads
Postmaster Howard L. Ring notes the third annual Postal Consumer Protection Week to raise awareness of how some mail-order promoters mislead the public. The Postal Service and Postal Inspection Service pursue schemes from weight loss aids to diploma mills, citing Borinquin University in San Juan as a recent case where false claims led to a $150,000 collection before remittances were ordered returned. A judge upheld the decision that the operators misrepresented facilities, faculty, finances, and accreditation. Postmaster Ring urges skepticism toward unusual or easy solutions from unknown sellers.
