standards by week’s end.
Little opposition was expected to
other key provisions, which would
require all senators to disclose per
sonal finances annually, ban accept
ance of costly gifts, and forbid use of
private “slush funds’ to pay official
expenses.
But at least one foe. Sen. Lowell
Weicker, R-Conn., did not give up.
He said “the gloves come off today”
when he planned to offer a package
requiring even more financial dis
closure, including income tax re
turns, to “give the public all the
facts and let the voters decide what
is a conflict and what is proper. ’
Yesterday’s action on the outside
income issue followed heated argu

sponsored by a group led by Sen.
Edmund Muskie, D-Maine.
The Senate stuck by the Nelson
committee’s proposal to let senators
earn up to $8,625 a year, or 15 per
cent of their official $57,500 salary,
by speechmaking or other “personal
services.” The could charge up to
$1,000 per appearance.
Current rules permit a maximum
of $25,000 annually for speechmak-
ing and up to $2,000 for a single ad
dress.
The Muskie forces, many of the
frequent public speakers, sought in
itially to get the 15 per cent limit
extended to “unearned income’
that many affluent senators collect
from stocks, bonds, family busi
nesses or other investments. That
was defeated by a 67 to 29 margin.
They then tried to maintain the
present $25,000 ceiling, but were
beaten.

PLAIN TALK
FROM ARMCOON
FINDING A JOB:
How the energy
crisis chilis
your chances
So you're getting your degree and
looking for that perfect job. More
power to you. Literally. You’ll need it.
America will have to find the energy
it takes to make you a job.
Expressed as heat, this nation
spends at least 71 quads of energy a
year. That's 71 quadrillion BTUs. A 71
followed by 15 zeroes. Since one BTU
will heat a pound of water one degree
Fahrenheit, we’re talking about bring
ing 219 trillion pounds of ice to a boil.
That’s a glacier thirteen miles long,
two miles wide and a mile thick.
Every year.
Each working man and woman’s
share of our 71 quads comes to
800,000,000 BTUs. Of course all that
energy-isn’t spent on the job. Nor do
all jobs take the same amount,
although most spend more than we
think. But when you look at our avail
able energy and the 89,000,000 people
at work, then 800.000.000 BTUs is
each job’s share.
Now- think about the 18.000.000
more U.S. men and women experts say
will be looking for jobs over the next
ten years. At 800,000,000 BTUs apiece
we'll have to come up with an extra
14.4 quads of energy to create new
jobs for them.
At Armco, we face the energy
problem every day because it takes
about 29,000,000 BTUs to make each
ton of steel. Our energy bill last year
came to over 5300,000,000. The cost
keeps climbing every year. No wonder
companies conserve energy. We have
to, even though most of Armco's
energy comes from coal which we
mine ourselves. When companies can't
get energy, people lose their jobs. We
all learned that during the winter. The
energy crisis is here. And it’s huge.
Plain talk about
ENERGY
We Americans already know how to
solve the energy crisis. We have the
technology to reach solutions. Yet each
solution comes with its own set of
political problems. Natural gas mustn't
cost too much. Offshore oil mustn't
spoil our beaches. Coal mustn't rape
the land or poison the air. The atom
mustn't threaten to destroy us. Energy
conservation mustn't interfere with
spending BTUs for worthy reasons.
Fair enough. But so far, we’re pay
ing more attention to the problems
than we are to the energy itself. We’ve
got to stop making every social goal
an ideological crusade. We need to
think things through and make rational
trade-offs if we’re ever going to get
those 18,000.000 additional jobs.
Next time some zealot crusades
for anything, test the crusade against
this question: Does it produce, at least
one BTUs worth of energy? If not, it
won t do a thing to help you get a job.
