(Fri. nets, wires. )
The Major Stories of the Day:
-
"Besides higher cost there's another price to be abstracted from
e-crisis, 11 said Cronkite, "a little dirtier environment" as
CBS/NBC led (no ABC note) w/EPA's "long-awaited" (CBS)
proposed amendments to Clean Air Act. Both nets noted debate's
gone on outside Admin and w/init re: proposals, w/Train, in
announcing package also noting he couldn't support 2 "issues"!
that "dirty" fuels may be burned thru open stacks except when
there's no wind to blow pollutants away; and that some pollution
of "clean" areas in US will be permitted up to the level permissible
under Clean Air Act. CBS noted FEO supports these 2 ideas, EPA
doesn't and it'll be up to Hill to decide. On NBC "leading Hill
environmentalist" Muskie said there 11 be a serious struggle
over proposals. He fears that tho environmentalists have won
most of the battles til now, w/pressures of e-crisis it's

(NBC) at being upstaged in M-E. Koppel said USSR's seen
their M-E influence "seeping" toward US
Sevareid noted tho
HAK trip to USSR isn't big news it once was. Big news is RN-HAK
can't go to W. Europe and the fact that breach in US-European
relations means HAK will sit down w/Brezhnev "in a weakened
condition.
