It estimates hundreds of millions in savings to taxpayers but equivalent losses to the U.S. Treasury, including refunds back to 1964 if a clause is enacted, and revived protection for overseas earnings reinvested in the U.S.

Construction runs about four weeks late but could still start pumping by mid 1977. Patton said 31,000 welds were audited and that welding gaps and questionable X rays are being corrected, countering Andersen audit doubts about full X-ray verification.
