Labor law clash as Congress weighs labor reform and abortion funding
Senate supporters push to break a Republican filibuster on labor law revisions while House leaders prepare for its annual debate on using federal funds for abortions. Backers concede Tuesday will fail but hope to prevail Wednesday as they offer concessions to win votes. The measure tightens penalties and sets union contest deadlines, with opponents arguing it increases corporate control. House radio broadcasts begin as conference talks on lifting rice controls from natural gas by 1985 proceed within Carter energy plan.

Flight controller Bill Peters noted the maneuver aligned Skylab’s nose about 10 degrees and left the craft steady for potential further actions.
