Gallup-McKinley Seeks Federal Funds For Indian Education
Dr. Jack Swicegood testifies in Washington before a Senate subcommittee on Public Laws 874 and 815, arguing the Gallup-MicKinley district lacks adequate funding for nonaverage Indian education needs. He urges 874 funds stay fully in district and stronger 815 support for school construction due to area growth and sparse tax base. Swicegood notes district covers vast land area with the largest Indian student body and compares state funding to federal shortfalls impacting buildings and programs.

House Approves BI Bomber but Carter May Veto
The House backed continued B1 bomber production amid debate over cost and military strategy. President Carter's decision, expected at a Thursday press conference, could halt or sustain all 240 planes, with costs around 24.8 billion. House Republicans proposed cutting 1.4 billion and five bombers, while Speaker ONeill and Rep. Mahon supported keeping production to pressure Soviet negotiations.

ICC Cuts 604 Million From Alaska Pipeline Rates
The Interstate Commerce Commission reduced by about 604 million dollars annually the charges eight oil companies may bill to ship oil via Alaska's 799 mile trans Alaska pipeline. The decision, called shocking by a company executive, preserves the possibility of lower wellhead prices but risks higher consumer costs and tax losses to Alaska. The ICC may block proposed rates for seven months while investigating legality, with likely ongoing review lasting 18 months to two years.
