That afternoon Carter wooed the congressional Black Caucus, which was turned off by Jackson's tough "I am against busing" stand and has doubts about Udall's staying power.

In response to vigorous lobbying by steelmakers and the steelworkers union, Ford agreed to limit imports of most stainless and alloy tool steels. He directed his special trade representative, Frederick Dent, to attempt to negotiate "orderly marketing agreements" with the major foreign exporters: Japan, Sweden and the European Common Market.

Duehay '55, Clem, and "independent" Independent Mayor Alfred E. Vellucci, voted in favor of the petition. The four members of the council's regular Independent group, Daniel A. Clinton, Thomas W.
