Policy Shift Aimed at Suburban Public Housing
Washington officials say the Nixon administration may unveil significant policy changes to desegregate public and federally supported housing by moving new public housing from ghettos to suburbs. Assistant Attorney General Jerris Leonard noted forthcoming changes as George Romney pushes for suburban housing to offer better neighborhoods for low income residents, mainly Black families.

The National League of Cities and U S Conference of Mayors told Congress that Sen Ed Muskie's water pollution proposals are more realistic than the Nixon administration's. Muskie seeks a 25 billion dollar five year program with half funded by the federal government, while the administration proposes 10 billion over four years at 40 percent federal funding.

Alaska Officials Fight for Pipeline in Washington D C
About 100 Alaskan business leaders led by Gov. Keith Miller lobby in Washington seeking fast right of way permits for an 800 mile oil pipeline from Prudhoe Bay to Valdez and a 390 mile road to Prudhoe Bay. Interior Secretary Hickel delays per NEPA concerns and a court injunction blocks road construction. Miller touts authority, while critics cite federal law and environmental risk. The plan crosses permafrost zones and quake regions with debate over burial versus above ground sections.

Plan Termed Unsafe for Buried Oil Pipeline in Alaska
Geological Survey Director William Pecora told 120 prominent Alaskans that burying the 800 mile Trans Alaska Pipeline from the Arctic North Slope to Valdez is unsafe for 90 to 95 percent of its length. He urged above ground routing in Copper River Basin and Yukon Flats and warned that a below ground plan would require an alternate route. He criticized the oil consortium for lack of consultation and absent design plans and noted a 50 50 chance of pipe failure due to permafrost melt. The investors in road machinery favored fast permitting, while others criticized planning and environmental damage by both the oil companies and colleagues.
