That ruling said that unless Congress approves the action. Carter cannot terminate the 1954 Taiwan treaty. Christopher said unless the ruling is reversed "there is the risk" that the People's Republic "will feel obliged to reconsider the entire relationship and a reversal of steps already taken is a distinct possibility."

"I have talked to him during the last two years," Ford said. "He has made no effort to contact me." Ford said his own view is that he can support SALT II only if the nation adopts an irrevocable program of building up its defenses, including revival of the B-- l bomber or some equivalent aircraft. Ford said his prepared statement taking himself out of the running in the 1980 nresidential campaign is "con sistent" with what he has been saying all along but that it is more "definitive" his past statements. He denied any Republican leaders or other candidates had called on him to make the statement. "This is totally being done by myself," Ford said. "I did talk to some people who helped me in my 1976 campaign regarding primary dates convention schedules, and so forth. I made this decision exclusively on my own.'' Huish Disputes EPA Contention Works general superintendent, Henry A. Huish, told members of the purchasing management Association of Utah Thursday night, "Contrary to what some of you may have read recently in the press, even today, to the Geneva effect that we actually can afford EPA's $110 million program, I must state, without equivocation, that claim is simply not supported by facts." The local steel mill supported by the state has agreed to spend $62.6 million on pollution control equipment to meet federal clean air standards, but the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency is pushing for the company to spend $110 million. At the dinner meeting in an Orem restaurant, Huish told purchaisng agents that during the past five years Geneva has been "marginally profitable" and that if Geneva had been required to spend even the $62.6 million period the steel during that five-yea- r mill would have lost money in three of the five years. About 30 percent of the purchasing agents at the meeting reportedly were purchasers of steel. "I enlist your support," Huish said, "not only because each of us shares an important economic stake in one of Utah's oldest and largest industries, I also ask your support because I know from personal experience that our men and women who make steel have earned it by their performance in one of the toughest competitive leagues in America." Huish paid tribute to Gov. Scott M. Matheson, the Utah Air Quality Board and the State Air Conservation Committee "for their diligence and support during months of negotiations." "I wish I could tell you, this evening that we are confident of reaching a mutually satisfactory agreement with the EPA. Unfortuantely, I can't." Huish told the agents. The general superintendent said that while EPA's Denver regional director, Roger Williams, has been quoted as saying U.S. Steel and EPA were close to agreement, the fact is "there are several major issues still to be resolved which are of great concern." Huish emphasized that while U.S. Steel does not want to shut Geneva down, it will if it becomes unprofitable because of having to spend too much on pollution control. the Supreme Court decision is forthcoming. "It will make a difference of around $8,000 to my office," Mr. Walker said, explaining that if the tax rebates are found to be constitutional, his office will be required to send out double sets tax notices to a large number of property owners. Normally, the property tax notices are sent directly to the mortgage companies, but this year it will be necessary to send duplicate tax notices and tax refund applications to the property owners as well, Mr. Walker pointed of out. "The Supreme Court decision will determine how many notices we have to mail out, and it can make a difference in around $8000 in office expenditures," he said. He said there is talk of another meeting between the EPA and steel officials next week, and added that the issue of what Geneva must spend is exbefore pected to be resolved December.
