President Carter halts development of 19 Western water projects citing cost and environmental impact. The move challenges Congress budgeting norms and pork-barrel practices, aiming for a more objective appraisal of a project’s merit within Western water problems.
The Senate Finance Committee proposes doubling the child care tax credit to a maximum 1600 dollars, offsetting federal taxes owed. It argues liberalization is needed due to more working mothers and rising female heads of families, urging public centers and private nurseries to expand while favoring the tax credit as government funding that leaves parents free to arrange care.
Private colleges face severe peril from rising costs and, more crucially, growing federal control. The piece cites mandates tied to federal funding, affirmative action hiring pressures, health and safety rules, and substantial compliance costs. It urges Carter and HEW to reduce federal intrusion and favors tax credits over deductions for donations to higher education.
Evans Novak reports that ex OFA agent Philip Agee cooperated with Cuba's DGI, suggesting he may be the CIA's first bona fide defector. The piece traces Agee's ties from resignation in 1969 through trips to Cuba, Algiers, Spain, and Europe, and notes the British expulsion action by Merlyn Rees amid alleged Cuban intelligence contacts. It also covers U.S. Senate votes on Paul Warnke and Senator McGovern's private remarks on human rights and Cuba.
Washington editorial criticizes President Carter for expanding the federal budget by 20 billion while promising cuts and openness. It argues the administration misleads on intelligence disclosure, defense funding, and human rights. The piece laments faux reform and cynicism in Washington since the campaign.
