Gov. Rampton Sets Conditions For Special Legislative Call Gov. Calvin L. Rampton has announced he may place on the agenda of a special session of the Utah Legislature such matters as local government financing; a vetoed income tax law, a campaign spending limitation bill, and ratification of the old vote amendment to the U.S. Constitution. However, the governor said whether there will be a special session depends on some agreement on a law to reapportion the legislature. Consideration of these and other measures will depend on indications there is good support for the legislation and that it can be handled quickly. Gov. Rampton commented on the prospects for a special session during his monthly televised news conference at the KUED studio at the University of Utah. The chief executive said he would be willing to call the special session as early as May if legislative leaders show there is some consensus on reapportionment. The earlier the better, Gov. Rampton said. If the legislators by can' come to some conclusion to call be willing early May, Id the session, perhaps, in the last week of May.

In substance, its findings concerning the overall energy picture, and specifically the situation in the petroleum and gas industry, parallels the observations of other compe- tent authorities. The present energy pinch is traceable to a number of factors some of recent origin, some of a nature. A sudden imposition of pollution control measures virtually outlawed certain fossil fuels before substitutes could be produced to take their place.
