Carter Says Energy Crisis Worse as He Unveils Plan
President Carter declared the energy crisis "much more severe" than six months ago as he introduced his comprehensive energy program. He vowed to return to the country to rally support after Senate rejections and noted oil firms present views since his April proposal. He warned the main issue is fair treatment for the average family, adequate supplies, and national security amid international stability. He spoke after bidding farewell to Nigeria's Lt. Gen. Obasanjo during a 99 minute meeting and ahead of talks with House Speaker O'Neill who pledged strong legislation before adjournment. The Senate was winding down, with a conference panel to report soon.
