Congress Sets Broad Agenda With Housing and Clean Air
Congress resumes after the Memorial Day recess as the Senate moves to a 4.8 billion housing and community development bill extending programs to 1980 and boosting low income housing. It also considers a one year delay in auto exhaust standards under the clean air act and revisits the Hatch Act changes to allow unpaid leave for running for office. House action includes a two year delay of auto rules and a 10 day sprint on major 1978 appropriations starting with Treasury Transportation and the Postal Service.
