Perhaps the most pressing research-related problem is overhead recovery of operating expenses universities must dole out in order to conduct federal research projects. Recent decisions by President Carter--including an 11 per cent increase for 1979 in basic research funds for universities and the proposed formation of a separate Department of Education--make research costs all the more important. There are two kinds of research expenses--direct and indirect. Direct expenses include those which provide for lab instruments, technicians and other specifically earmarked items. Both the government and Harvard agree that these costs should be covered by the group...
...soon be home more often, though. At nearly every stop along Crescent's southwesterly slope, the ICC will conduct hearings on what it calls "Case FD 28697" and the economic impact of the train's demise.

But he has been increasingly concerned about the limitations Congress has placed on the President's freedom to conduct foreign policy as he chooses...

In Ethiopia, government forces, backed by Cuban troops, opened an offensive against secessionists in Eritrea. In pro-U.S. Zaïre, leftist rebels based in Angola stormed into the copper-rich province of Shaba. At breakfast with congressional leaders, Carter fumed specifically about his "frustration at having his hands tied" by the 1975 law restricting U.S. intervention in Angola...
