Coast Guard declines double hulls for new oil tankers
The Coast Guard refused to require double bottom hulls on new oil tankers, instead enacting new operating requirements for vessels in U.S. waters. Officials argued many single hull ships remain in use, so double bottoms would have only a minor overall impact, despite anticipated Alaska North Slope oil production drawing criticism from Interior Department and environmental groups.

Butz Opposes Livestock Loan Bill Despite Senate Move
Agriculture Secretary Earl L. Butz opposes emergency credit relief for livestock loans without veto power to block certain guaranteed loans. He calls the House Agriculture Committee measure “very bad legislation” and economically unjustifiable. He seeks authority to veto loans for tax sheltering, poor bankers, or large corporations while industry groups split over the aid. The Senate already approved its version, and Butz urged safeguards to exclude inefficient operations and nonfarm investors.
