House approves optional seat belt interlock measure
The House voted 339 to 49 to allow optional seat belt interlocks in new cars while passing a car and school bus safety bill. Rep Louis C. Wyman pushed to make airbags optional for 1976 models, potentially eliminating air bags if not mass produced, as opposed to the Senate version without seat belt provisions. The bill also requires automakers to cover recall repair costs and sets safety standards for buses and car gas tanks.

Lawmakers weigh export controls as drought disrupts supplies and sparks debate on policy responses.
