Tax cut extension moves closer to Ford desk
Congress faces a conference committee to draft a six month extension of 1975 individual tax cuts with little chance of Ford's approval. Voting indicates overruling a veto is possible, but spending ceiling demands linger and affect final passage. The bills differ on aid to the poor and families, while withholding remains at current levels through June 30.

Energy bill moves to final Senate action amid price rollback
The House approved the broad energy measure by 236 to 160 as Congress nears a final vote. It would roll back domestic oil from 10.75 to 7.66 per barrel, allow yearly price increases, and cut gasoline costs by about 2.5 cents per gallon. The plan includes a 15 mpg auto standard rising to 27.5 by 1985, an emergency fuel reserve, and loan guarantees for coal and other provisions, with Ford’s veto uncertain.
