Air Bags Urged But Not Ordered
Transportation Secretary William T. Coleman Jr. said he will seek voluntary air bag and passive restraint use in selected 1979 and 1980 cars, not a universal requirement. The plan aims to win public acceptance by demonstrating life saving potential with at least two automakers marketing 250,000 cars with passive devices in 1978 and another 250,000 in 1980, with a majority of those devices being air bags.
