Chances of enactment
better for energy bill
By TOM RAUM
Associated Press Writer
WASHINGTON (AP) - Al
though President Carter’s ener
gy program has faced some
rough going on Capitol Hill, its
chances for enactment seem to
be improving now that some of
the smoke of congressional
battle has cleared.
And while the president sure
[ ly won’t get everything he asked
I for, he might end up with more
'than some allies in Congress
I have expected.
Some compromises seem in
evitable as a House-Senate con
ference committee forges a final
version of the bill.
For instance, the president’s
supporters may have to give
some in their bid to keep down
the price of natural gas — in a
possible swap to win approval of
Carter’s proposed energy taxes.
The administration may also
have to accept Senate sugges
tions that tax revenues be spent,
at least in part, to encourage
greater energy production and
mass transit.
And to get its proposed tax on
big, gas-thirsty cars, the ad
ministration may have to ac
cept a compromise that com
bines the tax with a Senate
passed ban on the worst-offend
ing autos.
Despite such give-and-take,
congressional Democratic lead
ers seem determined to salvage
as much of the Carter plan as
possible.
And its central theme — to
force conservation of energy by

making scarce fuels more ex
pensive and taxing their in
efficient use — seems likely to
prevail.
Os course, no one ever said it
would be easy pushing through
Congress a comprehensive na
tional energy bill that raises
costs to consumers.
The plan on which Carter has
staked the reputation of his
first-year’s domestic program
has had a hard time from the
outset, even in the House.
Those recurring reports that
the program sailed through the
House nearly intact before
being dismantled by the Senate
aren’t quite accurate.
The House did pass most of
the president’s proposals, but
only after a major reconstruc
tion effort directed by House
Speaker Thomas P. O’Neill that
followed numerous setbacks be
fore House committees and
subcommittees.
At one point, a House Com
merce subcommittee even
voted to scrap Carter’s plan
keeping price controls on natu
ral gas in favor of a deregula
tion scheme more sweeping
than that eventually voted by
the Senate.
With floor action now ended,
the same reconstruction effort
that O’Neill and his lieutenants
managed in the House is being
attempted by conference com
mittee leaders.
Rep. Harley Staggers, D-
W.Va., the conference com
mittee chairman, said he ex

basic Carter energy package.
“We’ve held the line pretty well
to this point,” he noted.
But he added: “We all have to
give a little bit on everything. .
.. It’s not like a game of marbles
where if you get mad at
someone or don’t like the rules,
you pick up your marbles and
leave.”
“I’ve said right along that I
think we’re going to come up
with an energy program this
year that the president can
sign,” observed Sen. Henry M.
Jackson, D-Wash., chairman of
the Senate Energy Committee.
The negotiating panel has
made little progress in that di
rection thus far — partly be
cause one of its central players
has been missing, Sen. Russell
Long, chairman of the Senate
Finance Committee.
But with Senate action on
energy tax legislation now done,
the Louisiana Democrat is
expected to play a dominant
role in shaping the final com
promise.
And even though the Senate
bill contains mostly tax breaks,
Long clearly favors the energy
taxes proposed by the president
— so long as their revenues can
be used as incentives for more
energy production and con
servation and not rebated solely
to consumers as Carter pro
posed.

New ideas for a

Government workers
shun Social Security
By EVANS WITT
Associated Press Writer
WASHINGTON (AP) - The
s3ll difference between a typi
cal federal employee’s retire
ment check and a monthly So
cial Security payment helped
convince government workers
to shun the Social Security sys
tem.
But the higher benefit wasn’t
the only difference that led fed
eral workers to fight success
fully against integration of their
pension plan with Social
Security.
Some federal employees al
ready qualify for both plans,
meaning they can now look for
ward to two checks.
And civil servants maintain
their higher pension was in
tended. A bigger chunk of their
paycheck goes to the retirement
fund than is paid by those under
Social Security, and career
employees enter government
service partly because of the
promise of the higher pension.
The Social Security system is
going broke, however, and the
federal employees are being
looked at hungrily by some as a
potential multibillion dollar
infusion of cash for the system.
But the proposal by the House
Ways and Means Committee to
bring them under the Social
Security umbrella was thrown
out by a 386-38 vo t e>
partly because of civil service
resistance and partly in fear
that the plan was not suf
ficiently thought out.
No one has suggested simply
substituting Social Security for
civil service pensions. But the
proposal did not say how the
systems would be integrated, a
fact that concerned many com
mittee members.
The differences between the
systems now can be illustrated
by looking at two 65-year-old
employees ready to retire at the
end of this year: a civil servant
and an employee of a private
business.
