Iowa Civil Rights Commission may modify or withdraw rules
Iowa lawmakers and private groups oppose several proposed anti discrimination rules from the Civil Rights Commission. Executive director Thomas Mann will present options at a Dubuque meeting to address objections from the Administrative Rules Review Committee and groups like the Iowa Manufacturers Association and Iowa Catholic Conference. The panel criticized three rules and delayed two others until February 1980 to allow legislative action. One contested rule redefines when an employer may offer retirement plans or benefits that could discriminate.

Carter sees Cabinet mass resignations as orderly support
Strauss, longtime adviser, argues resignations reflect Cabinet unity behind Carter. He criticizes media for judging each move by 15 minute mood swings and says the mass resignations were a deliberate display of backing, following a Camp David domestic summit and a drop in popularity.

Report on assassinations ties Oswald to Clintons group
The committee is inclined to believe Oswald and David Ferrie traveled to Clinton Louisiana two months before the assassination. It cites credible evidence that Oswald knew his uncle Charles Murret had ties to Marcello figures and that his mother Marguerite knew one Marcello driver. Mrs Oswald calls it ridiculous. For King’s case the report notes substantial evidence of a $50,000 bounty offer by St Louis men but no direct proof Ray killed King. Russell Byers testifies John Sutherland and John Kauffmann offered the money in a Confederate flag decorated house.
