DOT proposes opening Dulles Access Road to car pools
The DOT will likely recommend letting rush hour car pools use the Dulles Airport Access Road, easing congestion and reducing pollution. Rep. Joseph L. Fisher supports the plan, which would also delay a $57 million parallel toll road project and curb inflation-driven cost overruns. Environmental and Interior Department concerns over Wolf Trap Park are noted.

Tax-Cut Power Curve Shifts on Carter Strategy
Carter and his economic aides move into non stop sessions after Tokyo, opting not to push a recession cure while energy concerns rise. A $20 billion tax reduction, possibly expanding to $30 billion, faces a slow Congress as forecasters miss the recession, with political credit likely late.
