U N opens talks on Golan troops extension
The U N Security Council began Friday discussions on extending the 1200 man U N peacekeeping mission in the Golan Heights amid hopes of a six month renewal tied to renewed Middle East peace talks. Prime Minister Rabin warned against linking renewal to the broader accord. The draft would extend the mandate for six months and call for new talks.

Democrats bullish about '76 in Vermont memo
Vermont Democrats, once forced to meet in telephone booths and beg candidates, now show a cleaned slate with debt down to about 2000 dollars. Treasurer Richard Myette cites fund drives, a Humfhrey fundraiser, raffles, and yearbook sales. He is bullish on future candidates and cautions against overconfidence. The GOP, by contrast, faces about 18000 dollars in debt from last year’s losses. Emerging internal debates over fundraising versus issue focus linger from past divisions.

Jeffords pushes dairy bill in House panel action
Rep. James Jeffords of Vermont said a major dairy farm measure will be prepared by the House dairy subcommittee in January. He noted a prior price support amendment raising milk prices to 85 percent of parity, and warned that broader reform is needed to align milk pricing, prevent foreign subsidized imports, boost exports, and aid malnourished populations. He indicated multiple bills may emerge from hearings and that action in the Senate on the amended resolution is expected next week.
