Opponents seek to block new aid to oil and gas firms while Sen Jackson calls the bill a blank check for oil companies. Sen Long says blocking aid could doom an energy bill this year. Carter is quoted saying the $1.75 figure is as far as we should go.

House Bill Pushes Social Security Overhaul
The House moves toward passage of a bill to avert Social Security insolvency by sharply raising payroll taxes for workers and employers. A pivotal 386 to 3 vote rejected immediate coverage for over six million federal workers, delaying universal Social Security for government and nonprofit workers for two years. The plan would lift the tax cap from 965 to 2982 dollars over a decade, while opponents warn of disrupting retirement plans and the prevalence of dual government pensions.
