Senate votes to ease clean air standards in energy drive
Washington AP UP I The Senate voted to ease clean air standards as part of a national energy campaign and sent the measure to conference with a broader House bill. The bill delays auto emission targets to 1977, allows coal use if other fuels fail, and would suspend standards in areas still meeting air quality. Ford and Chrysler officials urged a carryover of interim 1975 through 1977 standards. A U S Steel executive urged a three year extension, saying the 1975 deadline is unrealistic and technically unattainable.
