Rep. Al Ullman said the Ways and Means Committee will approve a broad energy bill within 10 days to curb wasteful use of fuel. A key issue is taxing low efficiency cars as the Senate delayed Ford price controls on oil for three months, aligning with talks between Ford and Sadat in Salzburg. Navy rescue ships ended the evacuation of at least 18,000 Vietnamese refugees and prepared to sail to undisclosed Pacific ports, while Rep. Morris Udall announced plans to break up concentrated industries including energy, steel, and autos.
