Auto lobby to weaken safety penalties in House vote
Drew Pearson reports that the House Commerce Committee final vote on the auto safety bill hinges on two figures Alan Boyd and Califano. The auto lobby led by Lloyd Cutler pushes to curtail the Federal Safety Administrator’s power, strip manufacturer certification, and reduce penalties.
