House keeps water projects in public works bill
The House rejected a move to cut 16 water projects from the 10.2 billion public works appropriation by 218 to 194, then passed the bill 356 to 54 and sent it to the Senate. White House officials indicated Carter may veto if funds stay for contested projects, while Powell and Mondale urged avoiding a veto. Speaker O’Neill said if veto occurs he would send the bill back to the appropriations committee.

Panel Okays Oil Tax to Spur Energy Conservation
The House Ways and Means Committee backed a crude oil tax proposed by President Carter, aiming to lift gasoline prices by 7.6 cents per gallon by 1981 and cut oil usage. The vote was 21 to 16, with Republicans and many Democrats opposing. The panel signaled no share of revenue as industry production incentive and plans to implement the tax in three stages beginning 1978, with estimates of saving up to 200,000 barrels daily by 1980.
