Female Legislators Seek ERA Deadline Extension
A coalition of female members of Congress and White House supporters push to extend the seven year ERA ratification deadline set in 1972. President Carter backs the extension, with Judy Carter saying he is committed to passage if viable. Reps Holtzman and Heckler lead the push for House action while opponents mobilize against extending the deadline. NOW and WOMEN groups weigh in on timing and consultation concerns.
