WASHINGTON — A key Senate
member is predicting Congress will
reject administration proposals for
banning weekend gasoline sales and
restricting billboard lighting to save
energy during future oil shortages.
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.

There’s still time to realize a
substantial tax savings on
1978 income.
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.
