Congress faces possible DST extension amid debate
Dick Clark notes Congress again considers changing Daylight Saving Time from a 6 month to a 7 month program. He recalls past shifts since 1973, including year round DST in 1973 and an 8 month plan in 1974, with a return to 6 months in 1975. Backers cite energy and safety gains, while opponents warn of inconveniences and minimal energy savings.

Senator Dick Clark Calls for End to Daylight Saving Changes
Senator Dick Clark argues that extending DST by one or two months yields little energy savings and finds no significant benefits from a longer DST period. Public opinion favors a single set schedule with no continual changes, and Congress should focus on other issues, he says.
