A Revenue Service memorandum released Tuesday alleges Bert Lance told a federal banking regulator last year that he wondered if the agency could lift loan restrictions on a Georgia bank he headed. The document cites Lance's alleged request as part of a broader inquiry into banking oversight.
President Carter will hold a nationally broadcast news conference at 12 noon PDT today, White House announced. Press Secretary Judy Powell urged reporters not to presuppose an announcement about Bert’s fate or budget chief status amid Senate committee summaries and secondhand accounts from TRS investigators.
Salt Winter State Coastal Commission staff planners back approval of Sohio oil terminal in Long Beach only if 64-foot storage tanks are dropped. They also urge six pollution permits before any development, though outside the commission's jurisdiction. Edison talks seek a $100 million device package to cut sulfur dioxide by up to 55 percent, enabling permits within 99 days and a 1979 completion.
Victor the one year old giraffe at Marwell Zoological Park near London died after a 125 hour effort to raise him. Attendants and vets attempted to lift him with a sling and block and tackle but he failed to regain strength and died quietly with his neck cradled by helpers.

Israeli Foreign Minister Moshe Dayan said a Middle East peace conference could be convened before year’s end.

Douglas Robinson of the Federal Energy Administration said President Carter would announce approval of a western leg of the Alaska natural gas pipeline delivering 700 million cubic feet daily to California and the West. The move could ease the Long Beach harbor dispute over a Sohio crude terminal, though many issues remain.
The United States and Canada formally signed a multibillion dollar agreement to build a pipeline carrying Alaskan natural gas through Canada to U S users with potential later Canadian gas sales to southern Canada. Signing were U S Secretary of Energy James R. Schlesinger and Canadian Deputy Prime Minister Allan J. MacEachen, who led their nations' negotiating teams.
