A government commissioned study in Ottawa recommends delaying the Foothills Northwest gas pipeline two years from 1979 to 1981 to settle land claims, potentially aiding a rival El Paso Alaska project. Officials say Canada could boost Alberta exports to the United States to ease shortages if the delay is accepted.

Consultant Sees Waste In Congress WASHINGTON AP
A Westinghouse National Issues Center report for the House commission on Administrative Review criticizes House operations as wasteful and overbureaucratic. It cites $218,000 yearly in unused discounts on office equipment, large inventories, a 50 day delay in paying claims, and 15 percent of vouchers under $10. The study urges simpler forms, centralized procurement, and a professional administrator to replace patronage staff to speed legislation over administration.
