Byrd Defends Filibuster Against Gas Price Deregulation
Senate Democratic leader Robert Byrd says he would repeat the fight to block a natural gas price deregulation measure. He notes the 13 day filibuster left him with skinned knuckles and nose but saved the bill and possibly Carter’s energy program. Byrd credits Vice President Mondale for ruling on dilatory amendments and says broader rule changes are needed. He praises Abourezk and Metzenbaum as capable adversaries and hints at a 50, or similar, time limit as a solution.
