Coalition Tries To Block Program In Senate Fight
An untested coalition in the Senate moves to derail a $49 billion eight year energy tax breaks package and send it back to committee. The effort seeks to end debate and could doom energy tax legislation this year. Democrats condemn the bill as a giveaway while Republicans discuss preserving incentives for the oil industry. President Carter supports a broader plan with higher taxes to spur conservation, while the Senate contends with a trimmed version lacking boiler fuel tax. The dispute centers on final concessions for industry and a homeowner insulation credit.
