Byrd challenges Carter over oil price controls stance
In Des Moines Carter said he would not veto an extension of domestic oil price controls if the measure passes, but warned it would not survive a Senate filibuster. Byrd countered that the Senate would face up to any shift of burden onto Congress and denied linking arms talks to coal plant standards. He kept his vote on the treaty separate and planned further talks with the administration.
