Carter weighs energy plan and tax rebates as recess looms
President Carter met Democratic leaders for a pre Easter review of his energy reorganization and tax rebate proposals, both losing momentum on Capitol Hill. He also hosts House Majority Leader James Wright for lunch, plans to sign the government reorganization bill, and eyes a major federal bureaucracy reshaping after the holiday in Calhoun, Georgia. Sadat, on a visit, scheduled a farewell call and urged a Geneva Peace Conference for a Middle East settlement, with talks hinting at early December. News outlines a three month agenda, with energy plans and rebates unlikely to pass before the 10 day recess.

Carter Accepts Pentagon View on Soviet Heavy Missiles Threat
President Carter signals acceptance, per Joint Chiefs, that heavy Soviet missiles with multiple warheads could threaten the U.S. land based deterrent in the 1980s. Officials caution no expected Soviet attack, but warn of mutual deterrence erosion as missiles gain warheads and accuracy. Brzezinski outlines a cut from 308 to 150 heavy missiles, tying reductions to Soviet concessions on threatening systems.

Third Soviet fishing violator ordered free
The Coast Guard reports about 100 foreign ships boarded along the East Coast for suspected fishing limit violations since the 200 mile limit law took effect Mar 1. The Sovre menny, a Soviet research vessel, was boarded near Cape Cod at about 10 30 a.m. by the cutter Decisive but ordered not to seize it. It marked the third such case in a week, with officials saying the ship appeared to be a fishery support vessel for others.
