The committee has sponsibility for re- botli plans. On Monday it held off approving the civil rights plan until Carter wrote back agreeing to defer the potentially conflicting section until next year. Until then, according the to tlie agreement, committee will work on a solution to the problem using the Civil Service legislation as a vehicle. The civil rights reorganization plan goes into elfect unless vetoed by either House of Congress within the next month. Sen. Charles Percy, . said.
