Scottsdale park at Indian Bend Wash becomes national example
The Indian Bend Wash park project evolved from five acres to over 300 acres with Lakes fields and trails. The Army Corps of Engineers endorses it as a model for flood control and recreation. Horse trails were originally planned but horseback riding is forbidden to protect grass, though a long bridle path could revive Western heritage.

Gas Rationing Debate Warns of Disaster Under Carter
John D. Lofton Jr argues against giving the president power to ration gasoline. He cites a 1975 FEA analysis detailing a costly, bureaucratic rollout with 15-20 thousand new civil servants, four to six months to implement, 40 000 post offices, and long lines. He recalls World War II rationing debates and warns that with 100 million cars now, rationing would be an unmitigated disaster and Congress should oppose it.
