ERA supporters press Congress to extend ratification deadline
Tens of thousands of ERA backers marched on Washington and lobbied House members and the Judiciary Committee to extend the March 1979 ratification deadline. Organizers predicted up to 5,000 would lobby Capitol Hill as efforts stalled in committee. The fate of the proposal hinges on three more states or a new extension vote.

Congress Returns to Debate Broad Weapons and Energy Bills
Congress resumes after recess to tackle a $36 billion weapons and research package for the Pentagon along with a $4 billion military construction measure and an endangered species protection extension. The House will consider $10.3 billion for educational programs and debate a $13 billion energy package including the Clinch River breeder reactor. Senate fights over Endangered Species Act changes and Tellico Dam implications. President Carter opposes altering the act while some lawmakers push exemptions. The weapons bill proposes a $613 million higher outlay than the administration asked.
