Nixon aides linked to CIA drug tests say Senate panel heard
Dr. Sidney Gottlieb, former CIA science chief, told a Senate panel the CIA ran an extensive drug experimentation program in the early 1970s. He said investigators probed after Nixon associates reported bizarre symptoms including inappropriate tears and crying. The testimony ties to a long running covert program and unauthorized human testing. The claim comes as lawmakers examine abuses in intelligence operations during the Nixon era.

Senate showdown over natural gas price controls debate
In Washington the Senate plans a showdown vote on continuing Carter administration price controls for natural gas versus a deregulation plan. A victory for deregulation could strike a blow to the energy program, while a House-approved bill would extend controls and raise the ceiling to about 1.75 per thousand cubic feet and regulate intrastate markets. A separate Finance Committee effort seeks a compromise on an energy tax plan funding transit and conservation.
