Congress set to tackle fishing limits and no fault auto insurance
Congress this week moves on extending U S fishing jurisdiction to 200 miles with limits on commercial catches and foreign permits, delaying enforcement to March 1 1977. It also debates a sweeping no fault auto insurance system, aiming for four year state mandating coverage and higher medical and wage protections. The package includes oil from naval reserves, Hatch Act reform, and reconstituting the Federal Election Commission with changes to the 1974 campaign finance law.
