Carter Touts Energy Fight After Senate Rebuff
President Carter, rebuffed by the Senate on his energy proposals, plans a national push to win House approval. He prepares a vigorous counter campaign including TV, cabinet speeches, and travel to Michigan, Iowa, Nebraska, Colorado, and California, while House conferees move toward resolving differences with the Senate. The Senate Finance Committee advances tax breaks for energy conservation and a 10 percent investment credit for energy saving devices. Carter stresses a broader need for a comprehensive energy policy as he weighs potential veto threats over oil lobby influence and price controls on natural gas.
