Senate Nears Vote On Gas Deregulation Compromise
The Senate ends a long filibuster on natural gas pricing and moves toward a vote on a compromise plan backed reluctantly by the Carter administration. Jackson proposes a $2.03 ceiling rising to $3.36 by end of 1986, with controls lapsing Jan 1, 1987, as Mondale's tactics pace the process amid party tensions.

Influx Not Caused by Amnesty, INS Says
Leonel Castillo, commissioner of the U S Immigration and Naturalization Service, says data shows the surge of Mexican aliens into the United States is not prompted by President Carter's amnesty proposal. He notes only a small fraction interviewed were aware of or influenced by the amnesty plan. Castillo also cites Mexico's Jose Juan de Olloqui urging economic cooperation to curb illegal immigration.
