Carter energy plan called dead end by governors
Oklahoma Gov. David Boren told the Senate Finance Committee that President Carter's energy program relies on conservation and would amount to the largest single tax increase in U S history. He criticized taxing oil prices and rebating through the income tax as tragically short sighted and focused on rationing a shortage.

Gov Dolph Briscoe defended his 1979 appointment of Hugh Yantis as State Insurance Board chairman during a lengthy news conference. He urged senators to judge Yantis by his future record, while Sen Lloyd Doggett warned Yantis may favor insurers over consumers based on his prior role at the Texas Water Quality Board. Briscoe said confirmation would follow a proven record.

The plan ties benefits to inflation and faces opposition from Social Security Commissioner Cardwell who called the change costly. The move was approved unanimously as a compromise between parties.
