Cargo Preference Bill Ties Trade Deal To Ship Construction
White House and Congress report Senate Finance chair Russell Long tied final passage of a trade bill to Ford signing a cargo preference measure. Long seeks MFN for the Soviet Union and relief through the shipbuilding bill backed by maritime unions, railing against delaying tactics and warning of a filibuster.

It draws examples from poker, stocks, Broadway bets, and municipal bonds to illustrate risk and wishful thinking. It also shifts to a marital issue about a wife doubting her husband and self blame.
