President, Carter said his “sense of
Congress’ attitude” is that he could
accept congressional amendments
to his economic stimulus plan.
But he said if Congress makes
“drastic changes” that would make
him doubt the bill’s effectiveness or
viability, he would veto it.
Some House Democrats want to
increase the number of new jobs by
increasing the size of the $31.2 bil
lion package, and to limit the $50
tax rebate to lower income people
instead of giving it to almost all
Americans.
Earlier in the day, Carter was
quoted as telling Democratic con
gressional leaders that in regard to
his governmental reorganizational
plan, “I’m not asking for 100 per

United Press International
WASHINGTON — Highlights
of president Carter’s news con
ference:
Economic stimulus
Would veto economic package
if Congress makes’ drastic”
changes that would impair its ef
fectiveness, but could accept
certain revisions. Believes his
package is “well balanced, well
considered . . . fair to the Ameri
can people.”
SALT and Warnke
No conflict between his views
„.i arms reductions and those of
Paul Warnke, named to head
Arms Control and Disarmament
Agency; expects him to win
overwhelming approval.
Willing to complete another
SALT agreement that does not
include either the Soviet
Backfire bomber or the U.S.
Cruise missile — two major
stumbling blocks in the talks.

:S,
Federal Pay Raise
Supports federal pay increases
for Congress, federal judges and
others because of assurances
congressional leaders will push
strong ethics code. “I think the
pay increase is justified in most SCaudal
instances,” and if coupled with
ethics code, “overall it would be
good for our country.”
Congress
Has made mistakes in dealing
with congressional leaders but
believes he is making progress.
“We’ve given them cause for
some of the complaints. The han
dling of personnel appointments
is very difficult. We have not
been adequately helpful in deal
ing with the Congress. We have
tried to deal fairly but we have
not always been successful.”
Energy
“I’m against nationalization of
the oil industry.” Said energy
plan he will unveil April 20 will
be controversial, but:
“Our country has not had such
a policy to guide it. I believe
when this policy is made public
it will obviously engender a great
deal of debate. It’s going to re
quire substantial sacrifices on the
part of the American people.
“I’m going to try to make sure
that oil and natural gas com
panies and others that produce
don’t derive unwarranted profit
when we cut back on consump
tion and when we cut back on
production.”
Nuclear Superiority
At the present time . . . we
have superiority in nuclear capa
bility” over the Soviets. But both
nations are on an equal footing in
the sense that a major attack
would mean “tens of millions of
people would be killed. ”
Repeated call for “complete
elimination of nuclear weapons
from the earth” and said he was
assured yesterday that China
seeks to reduce to zero depen
dence on nuclear arms.
Doubts there will be another
Watergate-like scandal. Says it
will be preventd by governmen
tal safeguards such as election re
form, ethics codes and more
openness in government.
Human Rights
Will continue to speak out on
human rights and does not think
Soviets tried to test him by ex
pelling a U.S. correspondent and
detaining a Russian poet. Does
not believe free discussion of
human rights will harm negotia
tions on other matters.

cent of what I requested — only 99
per cent.”
Senate Democratic Whip Alan
Cranston, who reported on the
meeting, said Carter told the lead
ers he “wouldn’t even attempt”
governmental reorganization if he
had to get affirmative action by
Congress for each move.
Carter is seeking renewal of pre
vious reorganization acts that per
mitted a president to reorganize the
executive branch, except Cabinet
departments, subject only to the
veto of either house of Congress.
Chairman Jack Brooks, D-Tx., of
the House Government Operations
Committee, which must act on the
plan, favors affirmative congres
sional action on each specific reor
ganization proposal.
Brooks acknowledged to re
porters after the meeting with Car
ter that defeating the President’s
bill would be “very difficult, very
difficult.” He indicated he would
not try to block Carter’s bill if most
congressmen favor it.
Carter told reporters he is work
ing “very carefully, very closely” on
other proposals — by March 1, to
propose creation of a Department of
Energy; by April 20, energy policy
legislation, and May 1, welfare re
form legislation.
He admitted, however, at his
news conference that he had given
members of Congress some grounds
for complaints by poor handling of
personnel appointments.
But he said through “a constant
series of meetings’ with the mem
bers of Congress “I believe that we
have made a great deal of progress
in correcting those early mistakes.”

WE DON’T SELL ELEPHANT RECEIVERS AT SOUND CENTER!
You’ve seen elephant receivers at discount stores and “Quickie” stereo stores. They
promise power outputs in terms like “peak music power,” “total music store” and
so on. A receiver’s power is properly measured by the continuous average power
output (known as RMS power), which is the way Sound Center measures its
receivers.
