...ignored the claims of an estimated 77,000 native Alaskan Eskimos, Aleuts and Indians. The 1971 Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act resolved this problem by awarding the natives $962 million in cash and some 17.6 million hectares (44 million acres) of their own. The act further directed the Interior Department to designate up to 32 million hectares (80 million acres) as potential national parks and monuments, wildlife refuges and wild and scenic rivers...
...threat of logrolling is increased by the fact that pieces of Carter's program will go to eight or more committees (including Ways and Means, Commerce, Banking, Interior, Science and Technology, and Public Works). To make sure the House produces a comprehensive bill, O'Neill has created yet another committee-the Ad Hoc Committee on Energy. Normally, the regular committees would send their recommendations to the floor piecemeal, but the Ad Hoc Committee will package all of the recommendations into one omnibus bill. More important, perhaps, the new committee will have the power to offer its own amendments...
...Minority Leader John Rhodes.) The roster includes chairmen of some of the committees dealing with energy, including Oregon's Al Ullman, head of Ways and Means, who is one of the few lawmakers who think that the proposal for a progressive gas tax will pass.

They were conducting their search along the Galapagos Rift, where lava from the earth's molten interior rises toward the surface between two great crustal plates. Such depths are thought to be relatively barren of nutrients-and thus of life. But photographs from the deep revealed small areas, each around a warm spring, that were teeming with clams, mussels, tube worms and scavenger crabs. The probable explanation...
...fathom. Perhaps the simple georgraphic limitations of the plot account for this anomaly; Hitchcock always works best with a script that offers a wide variety of settings and locations that allow his prodigious imagination its rein. And there is, after all, only so so you can do with the interior of a railway car. All of which does not detract from the film's credentials as a bona fide Hitchcock. In fact, viewers who encounter difficulties with the implicit morbidity and amorality that mark some of the Master's works will find this glib comedy-thriller a welcome relief. Dame...
