Long Beach OKs Harbor Budget Amid Sohio Tanker Debate
The Long Beach City Council backed the harbor department budget of 31.32 million including a 67 million capital outlay for the Sohio oil terminal project while reserving the right to veto later. City officials said approval did not bind the council to the terminal, with bonds and franchise decisions to follow. The vote came after a four hour discussion and also approved the 1977 78 city budget of 514 million with partial restoration to the recreation budget.

Senators Uphold Saccharin Ban Rejection by Senate Panel
The Senate Appropriations Committee rejected a House plan to block a 15 month saccharin ban, noting likely further delay in separate bills. Eagleton said FDA assurances push the ban past Oct 1 and Kennedy prepared a 38 month delay bill while hearings may be rescheduled to advance House action. The FDA had signaled a fall timing for the ban while considering new cancer studies, amid protests from saccharin users and diabetics.
