This deal isnt a routine business transaction in any sense. In the first place, its the largest commercial order ever placed for a single airliner. More importantly, the competition to the newly designed American aircraft was the n Airbus 300, which is produced by a European consortium with the aid of a huge government subsidy.

People who lead the community, people who have special abilities, people who have something to say. We like to tell you what the people of are doing because we think you would like to know. Keep in mind that most suntan preparations contain lubricants to help you prevent this problem. You will receive maximum benefit from the lubricating ingredients if you apply them every two hours while you are in the sun, or whenever the lotion may become worn off or washed off.

If we can keep the cap alive through the Commerce Committee, it wouldnt matter if the states share was 10 of a percent or 100 percent. All wed pay is percent of our yearly revenue. McKay explained that the state share under the cap would be calculated on the states revenues for the year in which the bill is passed. one-quart- progress). In one case the court questioned procedural matters relative to the allocation among classes of customers of the amount allowed for construction work in progress. In the other case, also involving construction work in progress, the question related to whether or not the Commission, in allowing CWIP in rate base, should have expanded the scope of the hearing to also include evidence regarding rate of return. Public statements have been made by some parties associated with these cases to the effect that the result of these decisions is that the company collected all or part of these increases illegally, and that over 527 million would have to be refunded to customers. No such ruling were stated or implied as a part of the Supreme Court decisions. The company contends that the effect of the decisions is merely to remand the cases to the State Commission for further proceedings relative, in one case, to determination of an appropriate rate of return for CWIP and, in the other, for purposes of allowing the appealing parties to present additional evidence regarding CWIP.

Under McKays plan, now part of the Uranium Mill h of one Tailings Bill, a state would pay a maximum percent of its general revenues or ten percent of the total to remove the hazardous costs whichever is lower tailings from populated areas. Rep. McKay said that Utah, with abandoned mills in Salt Lake City, Mexican Hat and Green River, would be among the beneficiaries of his percent cap. Salt Lakes Vitro project alone will cost 532 million. Utahs share would be reduced from 53.2 million under the 10 percent plan to approximately 52.1 million under my formula a savings of about 51.1 million. With Utahs relatively small budget, what would happen if the 532 million estimate to remove the Vitro tailings proves maybe 520 million too low? The state would have to come Cost up with over 55 million which it just cant afford. overruns like that are very possible and a flat percentage of the cost leaves Utah wide open. My proposal also helps state budgeters know in advance what the removal costs will be so they can plan on exact dollar amounts. And it eliminates overruns due to inflation.

I because the order means loss of jobs and earnings to a subsidized foreign competitor. Americans believe in free trade. Indeed free trade is a desirable goal. Yet many of Americas trade partners resort to strict trade controls and direction devices. Their industries are government organized cartels, or guided by government agencies. Japan is correctly referred to as Japan Incorporated because its manufacturers, banks, trading companies and government agencies work as a unit. Private companies in Japan receive government guidance. The dumping of goods is frequently resorted to in order to achieve control of an important sector of the American market. No one is proposing high tariff walls to keep out all foreign-mad- e manufactures. On the other hand, some concern about safeguarding the interests of american industries and their workers isnt out of order. Theres no reason why protectionism should be presented as a dirty word. Every country in the world, except the United States, is concerned about the survival of its industries. The July 8 issue of The Economist contains news items about this government intervention. In Japan, according to The Economist, three major manufacturers are jointly working on very large computer circuits in a laboratory founded with government help. In March, the Swedish government offered 5330 million to help three large Swedish In Britain, companies merge their steel divisions. nationalized British Steel will add one million tons of new capacity at plants now under construction. U. S. companies dont receive such assistance. Moreover, American antitrust laws forbid joint trade campaigns and special combinations. In short, U. S. corporations operate on a true free trade basis while many of their competitors enjoy government help. If American industry is to survive, Congress and the d about subsidized and public will have to get guided competition.

Seeking to prevent Utah from losing over 51 million in funds for Basic Grant programs for the handicapped, U.S. Senator Jake Gam will cosponsor an amendment to preserve the 1973 Rehabilitation Act in its original form. The Act was recently changed by the Senate Human Resources Committee to eliminate income as a states determining factor in state allotments. Thirty-thre- e would gain additional funding under the new formulas, but Utah and twenty-fiv- e other states would lose funds. Seven states would be unaffected. The amendment I intend to support on the floor of the Senate will reinstate the original allotment formula, which protects the Utah program from a loss of over 51 million, Garn explained. - per-capi- ta Utah would recieve 535,762,000 under the original formula, but only 534,055,000 with the changes made by the committee. States ranging from Arizona to Oregon would lose from 52 million to 58 million. When income is deleted as a determining factor, the net effect is that the wealthy and most populous states suddenly receive a marked increase in funding, Garn pointed out. States such as California, New York and New Jersey would receive larger allotments at the expense of smaller, rural states which greatly need the funds. The funds are used in various programs benefitting the elderly, vocationally and educationally handicapped, and the disabled. The Basic Gran program has functioned with federal funding since the 1973 Act. per-capi- ta Teachers negotiate A negotiated agreement was reached between the Weber Education Association and the Weber School District. Clark Puffer, Executive Director of the Weber Education Association, indicated the agreement was one the W.E.A. negotiation team would recomment to the teachers. The agreement included a salary schedule of just over 7 percent plus a new dental insurance program which was equal to a .77 percent increase. An improvement in the term life insurance program of that the total package in new monies to teachers would equal about 7.5 percent plus increments, lane changes and other continuing fringe benefits. We are extremely pleased about the new salary index which puts us in an equitable base with other Wasatch Front Districts regarding minimum and maximum salaries, noted Puffer. David Grover, W.E.A. president indicated that, team was pleased with the agreement and would be meeting with the faculty representatives this Wednesday evening at 5 p.m. to recommend acceptance of the proposal. The negotiated agreement also included improvement of the hourly rate for teachers and over 7 percent, improvements in the early retirement incentive program, increased the number of years experience that teachers would be given credit for when being employed in the Weber District from four to eight years, and an extra pay index for drama, music, and physical education teachers. The B.S. lane range is 9725 to 15,793 while the M.S. lane is 8000-200- 11,300 to start and 18,009 0 after 14 years. The negotiation process has been a long and hard process but one that has worked, and I am extremely proud of the W.E.A. negotiation team, executive board, and the faulty representatives for their support and determination to reach a fair settlement, Mr. Puffer concluded. David Grover, president of the Weber Education Association, said, I am pleased that the negotiations have been completed and we will now look forward to a productive and beneficial school year. |
