Congress Goes On Vacation With Fiscal and Policy Battles
Congress heads into a month long recess amid threats of a presidential veto on a last ditch move to extend oil price controls and fierce splits over renewing U S arms shipments to Turkey. The Senate edged past an embargo repeal 47 to 46 while House delays action until Sept 9. The House approved extending price controls beyond Aug 31 but Ford administration officials expect a veto. If price controls lapse gasoline and petroleum prices could rise 4 to 6 cents a gallon over six to nine months. The Senate plans to resume debate on a 31.2 billion weapons authorization bill that would admit women to U S service academies next July. Muskie notes the bill exceeds budget goals and Ford sought 3.3 billion more.
