Carter proposes transitional Afghan government to avert mass slaughter
President Carter floated a phased transition for Afghanistan to replace the Soviet backed regime with neutral forces as Soviet troops withdraw. An independent Afghan state would be governed by a non aligned, neutral government with security provided during the shift. Brzezinski noted the proposal remains open and seeks wider consideration as Moscow presses on in Afghanistan.

Alberta Talks On Oil Price Policy After Venice Summit
Energy Minister Merv Leitch said Alberta will not push Ottawa to adopt world oil prices. Alberta favors a rapid price rise but will accept less than world prices for domestic oil and gas to keep Canadian businesses competitive amid Ottawa negotiations. Trudeau aligned with a modified domestic pricing policy at Venice. Former PM Joe Clark had tied prices to world oil a year earlier in Tokyo.

Ban urged on oiling roads to curb lead pollution
Calgary speaker Albert Shimbashi of Turbo Resources urged the Energy Resources Conservation Board to ban oiling gravel roads, citing tests showing oil use raises road dust and lead levels. He noted only about 3 percent of Canada’s 864 million litres of used oil is recycled and 16 percent is dumped on roads, dispersing about 2 000 tonnes of lead. He pressed tighter disposal rules while others argued no new regulations are needed.
