CHEYENNE, Wyo. — The chief
acker of a bill raising Wyoming’s
ighway speed limit to 65 mph, a
iove threatening receipt of more
arl $50 million in federal funds,
jys the measure has struck a nerve.
"There has been a groundswell of
upport for this,” Sen. Cal Taggart
aidlTuesday, after the speed limit
ill won second-reading approval. It
lassed its preliminary test 16-13
donday and a final Senate vote is
cheduled Wednesday,
raggart, who told his fellow law-
nakers it is time Wyoming stood up
0 the federal government on the 55
nph speed limit, said he expected
nore members to vote in favor the
lillouring today’s final rollcall. Six-
een votes are needed for final pas-
age in the 30-member Senate.
“We’ve been on the phone all day
rith about every state in the
Union,” Taggart said Tuesday.
They say they’re 100 percent be-
iSedar said the effort to increase
She Speed limit began three years
igoBn a meeting of the National
Conference of State Legislators. At
thatlgathering, delegations from
Wyoming, Nevada, Oklahoma and
Texas — all states with vast dis-
ances )etween communities — at-
mpted to push through a resolu-
Burging Congress to eliminate
|ieleiling on speed limits.
^‘IJthink that after this, maybe
Washington might begin to get the
dea, Sedar said. “If not this year
hen maybe next year.”
The chief obstacle to the proposal
s the federal threat of a cutoff' of
lighfvay funds.
flackers of the bill said the state
roulfl sue the federal goverment if
:h| highway money were cut off,
r.itopponents point out that resolu-
ionofsuch a case could take years.
Gov. Ed Herschler has not yet
tated his position on the issue. In a
ecent news conference, he said he
pposed the idea of federal direc-
ves, but at the same time the
bought of losing the state’s highway
oney was “like watching your
other-in-law drive your new
iadillac off a cliff.”

WASHINGTON — At the mid-point of his term. President Carter
says the state of the Union is sound but Americans must build a “new
foundation” for prosperity at home and peace abroad.
In a nationally televised and broadcast State of the Union address
Tuesday night to a joint session of the 96th Congress, the president
unveiled no dramatic new proposals but urged improvement of pro
grams already on the books and reduction of federal controls.
Carter dismissed the beliefs that Americans must choose between
inflation and recession; confrontation or capitulation. Instead, he said,
the United States can achieve prosperity by conquering inflation, and
peace by perseverance and by completing a strategic arms limitation
treaty.
But he promised he would not agree to any SALT agreement that
cannot be verified, nor sign any agreement “unless our deterrent
forces remain overwhelming.”
Senate Majority leader Robert Byrd said that Carter’s message was:
“We must approach social problems in a fiscally responsible way.”
The running theme throughout his address was based on the “new
foundation” slogan, but he told Americans that, despite the woes of
inflation and a decade of social upheavals, many of them have never
had it so good.
Tonight, there is every sign that the state of our Union is sound, ” he
said. “Our economy offers greater prosperity to more of our people
than ever before.
“Our liberties are secure. Our military defenses are strong and
growing stronger. And more importantly tonight, America is at
peace. ”
On foreign policy, Carter broad-brushed most of the world .s trouble
spots, including Iran, saying “our country is working for peaceful
solutions to dangerous conflicts. But he laid heavy stress on the need
for a SALT agreement to “reverse the costly and dangerous
momentum of the arms race. ^
Saying it was important that the American people understand the
nature of SALT II, Carter said the treaty is “not based on sentiment. It
is based on self-interest of the United States and the Soviet Union” to
reduce the threat of nuclear war.
He called his austerity budget, already under attack by liberal
Democrats and labor leaders, “stringent but fair,” and told the Con
gress: “This budget is a clear message that, with the help of you and the
American people, I am determined to bring inflation under control. ”

MEXICO CITY —Texas Gov. Bill
Clements said Wednesday that in a
“conceptual sense he and Mexican
President Jose Lopez Portillo agreed
on the issues of energy, illegal aliens,
the “Tortilla Curtain” and drug traf
ficking.
Clements, during a news confer
ence which followed his 45-minute
meeting with the president and
ended his two-day visit to Mexico,
said the two did not go into detail on
the four primary issues. He said their
staffs would discuss details later.
“I can say with no equivocation
that in a conceptual sense we are in
accord on all four issues,” Clements
said.
“I hope the meeting will signifi
cantly contribute to a continuing bet
ter relationship (for Mexico) not only
with Texas but also with the other
border states of the United States.
Clements said he suggested to
Lopez Portillo that Texas swap elec
tricity for Mexican gas.
“In a conceptual sense, President
Lopez was taken with the idea and
said that it should be explored in
greater detail, Clements said.
Clements rejected the construc
tion of a “Tortilla Curtain” — a phys
ical boundary between the United
States and Mexico to keep illegal
workers south of the Rio Grande.
“I believe the Tortilla Curtain’ is
not constructive and is no help in
building better relations, ” Clements
said. “The status of the un
documented worker must be
changed with full realization. They
must receive proper treatment,
given better living conditions and
fair wages.”
After the meeting, Clements re
turned by private plane to Austin
where he had scheduled a nevVS edn-
ference late Wednesday.
