The report calls for a single agency to run covert actions and bans that involve political assassinations. It notes Ford already adopted executive safeguards and says a full public budget figure faces White House opposition. Lawmakers debate whether to publish the spy spending, with divisions among Democrats and Republicans on national security and accountability.

The move, affecting hot rolled sheet and strip by 19 dollars per ton and cold rolled by 22 dollars, could prompt other producers to follow. The company, facing 1975 losses and a weak first quarter in 1976, argues the increase is needed to cover higher costs and maintain cash flow.
