Transport Revived by New Bill S SST Development Vote Looms
A leadership-backed effort to resume supersonic transport SST development faced a House vote with aims to extend funding through June 30. Backers, including Speaker Carl Albert and Rep Ford, argued the measure would save about 15,000 SST jobs and keep Lockheed defense work going. Proponents cited France’s Concorde and past votes as leverage for approval. Key advocates were Rep Thomas Pelly and Rep Brock Adams from Seattle area, where Boeing workers had been laid off.

Ban Regulations Proposed By Banking Committee
Two weeks of hearings on updating bank laws revealed broad agreement on need for change but disagreement on exact terms. Proposals include limits on interlocks among banks and other financial entities, brokered deposits, equity kickers, and flexible agency-based rules. The Patman bill would widen interlock prohibitions beyond banks to savings and loan associations and insurers. Pearl oysters are not true oysters but are related to the mussel and found in the East Indies and other regions.
