Analysts warn long coal strike may dent contracts abroad

Simon to press on coal gas funding in Perry County
U S Rep. Paul Simon plans to keep seeking regular federal funding for Perry County coal gasification rather than pursuing Synthetic Fuels Corporation funding changes. Reagan opposes. Simon says SFC funds would require commercial status, while Perry would be a demonstration plant. The $45 million first-year funds last year remain a target, with House panels showing varied support for 1981 and 1982 budgets.
