Senate approves major overhaul of clean air rules
The Senate approved a wide revision of clean air rules 73 to 7 delaying auto tailpipe standards to 1980 for 1978 models and extending regional compliance to 1987 with state controls. A Metzenbaum amendment would let eastern plants use local coal, potentially raising bills but curbing west coal imports. A House-Senate conference will reconcile differences before final passage.

Judge declares Farm Bureau lied in 1974 PBB claim
Wexford County Circuit Court Judge William Peterson said Michigan Farm Bureau Services deliberately lied in a May 30 1974 letter claiming the Battle Creek Township plant and seeds were tested and cleared by the state Department of Agriculture. The letter misrepresented test results showing feeds containing the toxic fire retardant. Armstrong defended the statement saying it followed department approval to continue operations after cleanup. Ball recalled no nighttime call or record supporting Armstrong notes.
