Congress discusses
boycott of Olympics
B(

iVCOtt
United Press International
WASHINGTON — President
Carter’s call for an Olympic boycott
has drawn wide support from both
liberals and conservatives in Con
gress, unlike the call 45 years ago for
U.S. withdrawal from the 1936
games in Nazi Germany.
On its first day of business in 1980,
several resolutions were introduced
in Congress calling for boycotts or
relocation of the Games from
Moscow.
In floor speeches Tuesday, many
members likened the Soviet drive
into Afghanistan to Germany’s
aggression in the ’30s and held that
foreign policy should transcend
.•sports.
Acting Senate Republican leader
Ted Stevens, who said he is unde
cided on the boycott question, criti
cized Carter’s moves as a shell game
to divert attention from his failure to
resolve the situation in Iran and U.S.
failure to anticipate the Soviet inva
sion.
“It’s just moving the pea under
another shell,” he said, noting the
possibly devastating effect a U.S.
boycott could have upon the 1980
Winter Games in Lake Placid, N.Y.,
and the 1984 Summer Games in Los
Angeles.
“If Afghanistan is the reason for
assassinating the Olympics, I for one
would like more articulation of why
we were surprised (by the Soviet in
vasion,)” Stevens said.
QUOTH
THE EAOL-E: ‘'MEVERMORE.
“To those who say don’t politicize
the Olympic Games,” said Sen.
Charles Percy R-I1I., "why in
heaven’s name did they (the Soviets)
want it so badly if they didn’t intend
to politicize it?”

Congress begins decisions
on windfall oil tax spendinf
I i

United Press International
WASHINGTON — Having
agreed on how to raise the $227.3
billion windfall profits tax revenues,
House-Senate negotiators have
started the easier task of deciding
how the money will be spent.
Conference members agreed
Tuesday to exempt from the windfall
tax oil owned by state and local gov
ernments if the net proceeds are
yspd for public purposes.
That is of major importance to
Texas, Louisiana and Oklahoma,
whose state governments use such
income to help pay for their public
school systems.
The negotiators also agreed to ex
empt oil owned by charitable educa
tional institutions and medical facili
ties, plus churches using their oil
earnings for schools and hospitals.
Still to be decided are such issues
as the duration of the tax and what
tax credits to allow for individuals
and businesses conserving energy.
By an .overwhelming vote, tlie
conference members approved a
$227.3 billion windfall tax structure
that includes a $22.5 billion tax on
