Return of the two dollar bill debated in 1976
Washington AP. Deputy Treasury Secretary Stephen Gardner says a decision on reintroducing the two dollar bill in 1976 will come in a month or two. Gardner and Secretary Simon favor the idea, citing inflation and usefulness, despite Harvard Business School surveys showing little public support. The final call by midsummer rests partly with the Federal Reserve Board.

Ford Proposes Tax Breaks to Spur Utility Growth
President Ford unveiled tax measures to accelerate new power plants through a 12 percent investment credit, tax deferral on reinvested dividends, and extended five year tax writeoffs for pollution controls. The plan includes coal conversion of oil and gas plants and aims to lift nuclear share to about 20 percent by the late 1980s. Federal officials expect utility tax breaks to cut costs by 500 million to 1 billion dollars in 1976 with Congress involvement.
