Senators seek joint decision on Korea troop withdrawal
The Senate declined to endorse Carter's plan to withdraw U.S. ground troops from Korea, adopting an amendment 79 to 15 that urged any pullout be a joint President-Congress decision. The vote preserves civilian control and places future policy in shared hands, amid debate over South Korea's defense and deterrence.

Energy taxes face stiff Congress opposition in Carter drive
President Carter presses for higher energy taxes but faces wide resistance from Congress. Senator Ted Stevens argues the president’s attacks fuel opposition, warning a 14 cent gas price rise could reach 50 cents over seven years and invite OPEC price hikes. Stevens predicts success against extending price controls on intrastate and interstate natural gas. He cites past close votes and cites a Carter letter to Texas Oklahoma and Louisiana governors as political leverage.
