Citizen Rate Postage Plan Approved By USPS
The Postal Service approved President Carter's two tier rate plan setting a 13 cent first class citizen rate and a 16 cent business rate, with other mail costs rising. The plan goes to the Postal Rate Commission for hearings up to 10 months, delaying any effect before next May. Public support is uncertain as business groups oppose the dual rate while cost cuts aim to reduce the service deficit.

Kansas Energy Plan faces critique in Topeka
Senator Arnold Berman of Lawrence called the Kansas Energy Conservation Plan a loose set of proposals reliant on educational volunteerism rather than firm administrative programs. Dean Eckhoff of Kansas State University defended the plan, noting observed energy savings from education and volunteer action in farms, industry, and utilities. The interim committee studied the plan, awaiting Federal Energy Administration approval, with a target 6.9 percent energy reduction by 1980 through building efficiency, lighting, government actions, and carpooling.

Bypass plan eyed after Alaska pipeline blast
In the wake of Friday’s explosion at Pump Station No. 8 along the trans Alaska pipeline near Thompson Pass Alaska officials say a bypass is possible. The plan would allow pumping across the pass without the station potentially boosting flow beyond 600 000 barrels daily though the 1.2 million barrel a day target for 1977 may be scrap. NTSB investigators interview workers to determine cause and possible procedural changes while aiming to issue a full report in about four months.
