The Senate approved new standards to protect air quality in current clean air zones. An amendment to drop the new restriction from the pending bill failed 43 to 31. Moss proposed delaying the new limits for one year for a study by a National Commission on Air Quality. Muskie said enforcement would be state led with growth in mind.

Federal air pollution rules upheld by court
A federal appeals court upheld EPA air pollution regulations as rational and within authority under the 1970 Clean Air Act.
