Energy Production Efforts Criticized
Washington AP The outgoing chairman of the Joint Committee on Defense Production says the United States is moving too slowly to cope with a developing energy crisis. The 1972 report notes 49 of 56 civilian nuclear plants under construction behind schedule by an average of 14.3 months. The AEC sees a new Liquid Metal Fast Breeder Reactor as essential, with commercial demonstration aimed for 1980 and much higher uranium usage.

Henry Kissinger plans a Peking visit as part of advancing relations and Indochina peace talks loom with Chou En Lai.
