This week, on his 91st day in office, Jimmy Carter will unveil his controversial energy conservation program?the most comprehensive ever proposed by a President. The energy package reaches from automobiles to attics and from vacuum cleaners to wellheads in an effort to end America's profligate use of energy. It is almost certain to ignite a firestorm of protest?and to provide Carter with his most difficult test as a politician and as Chief Executive. Predicts chief Carter Aide Hamilton Jordan: "This will be a measure of Carter's ability to lead the country. It is a greater test...
Jimmy Carter has three weeks left to meet a self-imposed deadline for tackling what may well be the hardest challenge he will face throughout his presidency.

...world's largest bank has long been tight-lipped about its business. Now it is pledging to become almost garrulous. Last week the San Francisco-based BankAmerica Corp. flew five senior officials to New York to unveil, with maximum publicity, a 26-page, 70-item "Voluntary Disclosure Code," under which the bank proposes to make available information that goes far beyond what banks are compelled by law to reveal.
