Sen. J. Bennett Johnston, D-La., chairman of the Senate energy sub committee on regulation, said the proposals would have devastating impacts on travel and advertising in dustries while saving little energy. Congress has until May 10 to ap prove or reject these administration proposals and others that would re strict building thermostat settings and provide the president with a standby gasoline coupon rationing plan. even Sohio with t Sof “I expect the committees Permi tempt to come up with alter; conp Johnston said. oppos "We haven’t met to shape: sta te < gram and it is a little premu Al speculate about it.” Pipfh Johnston likes the idea of, traijsp states the option of meetingratvalilo goals anyway they choose, ai that p Richard D.

If you are not covered by a retirement plan you can still qualify for a tax-sheltered savings plan that reduces 1978 income tax. The Individual Retirement Account (IRA) offers self-employed workers (and others not covered by any pension or retirement program) an easy way to set aside savings and reduce current income taxes. The maximum amount, established by law, is 15% of income or $1,500 (whichever is less). Married workers can set aside a total of $1,750 if their spouse is not employed. A new feature of the law this year permits workers to exercise their option to create an IRA for 1978 income any time before they file their 1978 income tax return (normally prior to April 15, 1979). So you still have time to take advantage of this tax savings. Every IRA dollar invested in BBfifL earns 8% interest (an effective annual yield of 8.33%), the maximum interest permitted by law. No financial institution can pay you more. It’s easy to set up an IRA with BB6FL. We’ve streamlined the procedure and minimized the paperwork. You can handle all the details in one visit. For information on your specific tax situation, talk to your accountant or your attorney. For information on IRA, talk to Hazel Holland, BB&I/s IBA specialist. IF THE AMOUNTS SHOWN ARE DEPOSITED MONTHLY, THE BALANCE IN YOUR ACCOUNT WILL GROW AT 8% COMPOUNDED CONTINUOUSLY.
