Ford urges private path to end uranium monopoly
President Ford asked Congress to allow private industry to end the government uranium monopoly by building and selling enriched fuel to reactors worldwide. The plan would federally back losses up to 8 billion dollars, require private firms to raise 50 to 60 percent of funding, and keep government control of three existing plants at Oak Ridge, Paducah, and Portsmouth. Iran, Japan, and West Germany were named as interested financiers.

FBI Director Clarence M. Kelley told the House civil liberties subcommittee that proposals to prohibit wiretapping without a court order would severely hamper the intelligence function. He cited 232 wiretaps and bugs used in 1974 without orders and urged court rulings for national security wiretaps, suggesting a special panel could approve them without proving imminent crime.
