Senate Likely to Broaden House Tax Cuts
The House approved a 16.3 billion tax cut and sent it to the Senate where leaders say it could grow to about 20 billion. President Carter’s proposals faltered as the Ways and Means bill passed 362 to 49, with Long urging expansion to offset inflation. The bill boosts personal exemptions, widens brackets, and limits capital gains taxes, while a Republican plan for a three-year, one-third rate slash was defeated 240 to 177.

U S firms may aid Chinese oil development
Four U S oil firms Pennzoil Exxon Union Oil and Phillips Petroleum discussed oil development arrangements with Chinese officials as Washington reports private talks exist. Officials say talks are company to government with no U S government involvement and could affect future world oil supply and trade with China. China's crude output rose 13 percent from 1975 to 1976. By 1985 China could increase its share of Japan oil imports from 2 6 percent to 4 9 percent while exporting crude to Japan already in a five year run totaling 47 1 million tons.
