Jojoba and guayule could fuel new American industry
The Bureau of Indian Affairs drafts a bill to plant 1,000 acres yearly of jojoba and guayule on Indian reservations, backed by a $25 million appropriation. Jojoba oil may serve as a high grade lubricant and cosmetics while guayule offers natural rubber potential, with tests showing versatile oil uses and drought tolerance.

FCC studies need for more CB frequencies as demand grows
The FCC established the Personal Radio Planning Group in 1976 to decide if the personal radio service warrants expansion and, if so, what bands to use. A large user survey is planned, and a working paper proposes seven candidate bands from 26.95 to 947 MHz, while current CB channels remain 26.965 to 27.405 MHz.
