200 mile limit vote delayed in fishery bill debate
The House delayed a vote on a 200 mile limit for ocean fisheries while approving a debate rule by 860 to 47. The Ford administration backs the bill as supporters hope for a Law of the Sea agreement next spring in New York. Coastal fishermen back the measure but tuna and shrimp fleets oppose it, with Rep. Lionel Van Derglin warning it would end the tuna industry and cost thousands of jobs in California ports. Rep. Robert Leggett argues it is necessary to protect coastal fishing.

Measure to check against redlining approved by House
The House Banking Committee advanced four measures requiring lenders to disclose where mortgage money goes to assess bias against home buying or repair in inner city neighborhoods. The 25 to 12 vote pauses four-year provisions and stops short of banning redlining while promising publicizing any lending patterns. Community groups fault redlining for city decay.

Grain-supply outlook dim signals tight global stocks
The Agriculture Department warned of a tighter world grain outlook through late next year as losses in major producers including the Soviet Union and Western Europe reduce supply. World wheat and feed grain stocks are forecast at about 100.1 million metric tons by 1976 crops, unchanged from current levels, keeping the world reserve at its smallest since records began. Wartime droughts and production slumps continue to pressure inventories despite earlier hopes for a buildup.
