Liberal Democrats to lead drive to oust Carter in 1980 bid
Americans for Democratic Action ADA plans a campaign to deny Carter the 1980 Democratic nomination. Founders Rauh and Lowenstein push a liberalist line, with Kennedy and Brown supporters lobbying and debates slated before Sunday endorsements. ADA sees Carter as weak, while other figures press for liberal alternatives and party unity.

House watchdogs lenient when policing themselves
The House Administration Committee chaired by Frank Thompson discussed use of office funds for constituent greetings and gifts abroad, signaling tolerance for some practices while tightening rules. Dickinson argued for gifts and congratulatory items as legitimate. The panel allowed gifts to foreign hosts on official trips and raised the mileage rate from 17 to 20 cents, aiming to curb abuses while preserving practical needs.
