Gas Bill Opponents Launch Long Senate Filibuster
In a historic all night session two Democratic opponents of natural gas deregulation, Senators Metzenbaum of Ohio and Abourezk of South Dakota, held the Senate in session to block deregulation. Majority Leader Byrd tried to outlast them, aiming to force a vote as sleep-deprived members drifted between couches and the chamber.

Idaho Wheat Deficiency Payments to Reach 40.8 Million
Deficiency payments totaling 40.8 million dollars will go to Idaho wheat producers, with the total economic impact projected at 119 million. Dr Robert Sargent of the University of Idaho Extension notes each dollar in payment boosts total business income by about 2.90, and describes the drought hit 1977 harvest as disappointing for farmers and Main Street merchants. Payments require a current wheat allotment on file with ASCS and are calculated from the allotment acres times farm yield, with an estimated payment rate around 65 cents per bushel.
