Washington discusses how government should support single parent families amid Carter and Republican platform calls for family protection. Data shows over 11 million children live in single parent homes, with 15 percent of families with under 18 headed by women and over 40 percent of black children living without a father.

White House memo clash over handling sensitive papers
White House Deputy Staff Chief Jim Cavanaugh demanded accountability after leaks of presidential briefing papers to The Chicago Sun Times and warned of cutting off access to sensitive documents. Ron Nessen disputed the charges, insisting the president fire him and his staff if necessary, while noting no evidence supported the claims. The dispute comes amid a broader bid by four House members to roll back an $11.5 billion oil and gas synthetic fuel plan backed by the Ford administration, which critics call a taxpayer risk with windfall for big firms.
