Humphrey urges mining leaders to double research
Vice President Hubert Humphrey told about 2,500 mining leaders at the American Mining Congress that federal support should supplement not replace industry research. He urged a larger effort to meet rising mineral needs by 1990, address costs and air pollution, and join inflation fights by keeping basic mineral prices steady. He praised a new exploration relief bill signed by President Johnson and noted U.S. hopes for stronger mineral exploration.
