Bills to ban, restrict, or do research on fluorocarbon aerosols have been introduced in the legislatures of 13 other states and Congress. Now a US. government task force is calling for a federal ban on aerosols using fluorocarbons, with the proposal to take effect in 1978.

In the 1968 campaign, according to L.B.J., Graham met with him privately and conveyed Nixon's message qv, while Nixon would criticize weaknesses in the Johnson Administration, he would never attack Johnson personally and, if elected, would try to establish a close working relationship with him. Graham's relationship with Nixon was always this close and remains so. This past spring, Graham said he prayed with Nixon in San Clemente ar,d observed that the former President had become deeply religious. The evangelist's defenders and he has many Imre than he has detractors argue that Graham tries to discuss spiritual matters with political figures and doesn't really talk politics.
