It links his opposition to Sun Desert reactor plans and hints at a presidential bid aimed at outflanking Carter on nuclear policy. Brown frames public opinion as shifting against nukes and likens the issue to Vietnam era politics.

Dalton Defies HEW on Virginia Desegregation Plans
Governor John N. Dalton faces a protracted clash with the federal HEW over desegregation mandates for state universities. Dalton sends Attorney General Coleman and Education Secretary Gilley to Washington to negotiate while signaling possible Supreme Court action if needed. He argues Virginia must control its own higher education timetable and policies despite HEW pressure and a potential $150 million in federal funds at risk. A separate $250,000 legal-advance appropriation is debated to ensure top counsel if court action is pursued.
