Blucher Defends Environmental Control Bill in Vermont
Walter Blucher of West Arlington seeks to clear up misconceptions during a Montpelier hearing on the Environmental Control Bill. He says funding would come from federal and regional sources, not $100,000 from state funds, and the bill would create an Environmental Control Commission that adopts but does not prepare the land use plan within one year. The proposal expands districts from six to eight and faces criticism over geographic patterns and potential conflicts of interest.

Tariff May Replace Oil Import Quotas
Washington leaders split on replacing oil import quotas with a tariff system to take effect by 1971. President Nixon ordered immediate work on a new Oil Policy Committee headed by General George A. Lincoln while urging continued talks with foreign governments. The majority backs a tariff, aligning with steps toward steadier energy policy, while a minority warns of price fixing and security risks from reduced domestic exploration. The report spans about 400 pages from a year-long study.
