Steiger Reluctantly Backs Auto Tax Bill in House Panel
Representative William A. Steiger of Wisconsin voted with the majority in the House Ways and Means Committee to approve an automobile tax measure. The bill would tax cars by miles per gallon with a tiered excise, starting at 2 percent for 17 to 18 mpg in 1978 and rising to 5 percent for under 15 mpg. Critics say the bill is too weak, while Steiger opposes fuel standards but backs the tax proposal as a limited step.

Jordan to Receive Missiles from US
Washington reports the United States will supply Jordan with Hawk antiaircraft missiles and air defense gear amid a freeze on new arms shipments to Israel. Kissinger indicated Jordan gave a verbal commitment to strengthen its defenses while negotiations in the region continue. The move contrasts with the suspension of arms to Israel as Washington reassesses Middle East policy, though officials say the Jordan deal does not shift regional balance.
