Most of Carter's advisers-in the Treasury Department, the Council of Economic Advisers, the State Department, the Defense Department, the Office of Management and Budget-are against the bill. They fear it would aggravate inflation by forcing the use of more expensive U.S. ships with highly paid crews: it costs $14,300 a day to run a 90,000-ton U.S. ship...
