Mobutu Breaks Ties With Soviet Union in Defense of Zaire
President Mobutu Sese Seko denounced the Soviet Union as Zaire’s No. 1 enemy and said all cooperation with Moscow in education and information had ended. He claimed Soviet agents infiltrated Zaire’s post and telecoms and civil service, and asserted no Zaire students would go to Lumumba University or the Soviet Union. Reports also noted ongoing fighting with rebels in Shaba as loyalist forces, aided by Moroccan troops, pressed the insurgents. Cuban instructors and troops were cited by prisoners captured near Shaba, though some retreat had occurred.

Cedar Rapids Mayor Don Canney said Carter's energy address cited many fuels but omitted substitutes for gasoline such as alcohol or hydrogen. He supports hydrogen production from seawater and notes its potential as a clean, abundant fuel with simple engine modifications.
