Sylvia Porter notes a coming Congress debate over passive restraints like air bags and automatic seat belts. Secretary Brock Adams urged standard equipment by 1983, arguing air bags could cost about 112 dollars per car but save thousands of lives and reduce injuries. Automatic belts cost around 50 dollars and already cut crash injuries in VW Rabbits. Savings from lower insurance and medical costs could offset the price.
Adams plans a three year phased in passive restraint system starting 1981 for standard and luxury cars and 1983 for subcompacts. Congress not required but can be reversed within 80 days by opposing resolutions led by Rep Shuster and Sen Griffin with hearings set in September. Opponents decry federal meddling while supporters cite life savings and broad industry backing.

Mack's owner bagged oats and a stall, while Willy received weekly pay and comic torment as the horse outmaneuvered him at every turn.
