President Carter’s energy plan survived a major parliamentary challenge as the Rules Committee voted 9-7 to allow a single floor vote on the five part package. Rep. B F Sisk reversed his stance, backing the package to avoid killing the energy bill while still preferring separate action on the natural gas provision. Final action expected Saturday with the gas pricing section facing a close vote despite opposition from conservatives, gas state Democrats, and some Republicans.

Holcombe district attorney for the 143rd Judicial District argues that the Speedy Trial Act, in effect since July 1, 1978, contributed to but did not primarily cause indictments dismissals in Ward and Reeves Counties.
