No widespread shortages seen Future harvest for fruits
California drought did not cause widespread shortages in 1977 but raises questions about 1978. Agricultural economist Porter warned that without average winter mountain precipitation, 1978 could be a severe test. Florida freezes disrupted tomato and pepper supplies, while California still produced much of the nation’s fruit and vegetables.

Possible Indochinese Refugee Influx From Food Shortages
Testimony before a Senate committee warned food shortages and economic malaise could push 60,000 or more Indochinese refugees to the United States over the next three to four years. Witnesses cited Laotian drought, rice scarcities in Vientiane, and low farmer incentives under socialism as factors. The discussion centers on extending the two year refugee aid program as debates consider funding levels amid the anticipated wave.

The measure targets those earning $30,000 or more and seeks passage before adjournment, with provisions to borrow from the general fund if reserves dip below 25 percent.

Rules for Concorde proposed could expand SST routes
The Carter administration proposes noise and safety rules to permit the Concorde to fly to up to 12 US cities. Transportation Secretary Brock Adams says the plan protects health and sets a fair noise standard while balancing domestic and international interests. Public comments will be sought and months may pass before adoption. Until then the Concorde may continue serving Dallas and Washington under current limits. A 16 month Dulles trial ended last weekend and a four flight per day cap was supported for Kennedy. Court action had blocked the Kennedy authorization, while new rules would allow flights to a dozen cities after SST environmental studies.
