WASHINGTON President Nixon
asked Congress Wednesday to spend $1.8
billion for energy research and development
in 1975. He also proposed to trim the oil
companies' tax break, label "energy
efficient" products and relax auto emission
standards for two more years.
Breaking from tradition by outlining his
energy legislative proposals prior to the
State of the Union message Jan. 30. Nixon
also repeated earlier "highest priority
requests for passage of the emergency energy
act, a windfall profits tax, a job security
assistance proposal, mandatory inventory
reporting by energy firms and creation of the
Federal Energy Administration.
The President's five new legislative
proposals, which he promised to send to
Congress within "the next several weeks,"
were:
A change in the law to eliminate foreign
depletion allowances and modify the system
of foreign tax credits for U.S. firms that
produce oil overseas.
Acclerated licensing and construction of
nuclear facilities.
Mandatory labeling of all major
appliances and automobiles sold in the
United States to indicate their energy use
and efficiency.
Changes in the Clean Air Act to
temporarily relax industrial emission
standards where clean energy supplies are
inadequate and to extend the less stringent
1975 auto emission standards for two more
years. Pending legislation would extend auto
standards for one year.
An energy facilities sitting act to
coordinate government approval of sites for
energy facilities.
Nixon noted that his request for $1.8
billion for energy research and development
was the first step in a $10 billion, five-year
program and nearly double the level spent a

Presidential tan deduction improper'
WASHINGTON Sen. Russell D. Long, D-La., ssid Wednesday that President
Nixon almost certainly will be asked to pay back taxes because he was not entitled to
the $576,000 deduction he claimed on the gift of his vice presidential papers.
Long, chairman of the House-Senate committee that is investigating Nixon's taxes
at the President's request, said everything he has seen so far indicates the deduction
was improper.
Oil crisis not contrived Jackson
WASHINGTON Sen. Henry M. Jackson, D-Vash., said today his three days of
Senate hearings had not produced any hard evidence that the major oil companies
contrived to produce the energy crisis, although he said they profited from it.
Jackson, whose subcommittee on investigations has been grilling oil company
executives since Monday, was one of several congressional leaders who were
briefed this morning at the White House by President Nixon and his energy chief
William E. Simon on a new energy message being sent to Congress by Nixon.
. . " . T'.US.auioisaVes; dovn-.30: per cent
DETROIT U.S. automakers, feeling the squeeze of the energy crisis and a
consumer stampede from big cars, said Wednesday they sold 155,004 passenger
cars in mid-January a drop of 30.6 per cent from last year.
Overall, the industry decline was the sharpest for any 10-day period since mid
September. The smallest of the major four car companies, American Motors Corp., said its
sslss in the Jan. 1-10 period hit a 14-year high for the period.
Richard F.I. fuxon
year ago. He said he also would request an
increase of $216 million for supporting
programs in basic and environmental effects
research.
Calling on Congress to pass a bill which he
submitted last April to improve the
unemployment insurance program, he said
he soon will propose amendments to that
measure to further expand benefits for
people put out of work by the energy crisis.
He described these extra energy-related
unemployment benefits as an integral part
of the same philosophy which has led me to
seek a windfall profits tax that prevents a few
people, from benefiting unduly from the
energy emergency."
Nixon appeared to get tough on the oil
industry in references to proposals for a tax
on windfall profits, mandatory reporting of
inventories and an elimination of the foreign
depletioirallowarrcer
"We must not permit private profiteering
at the expense of public sacrifice. he said.
"The sacrifices made by the American people
must be for the benefit of all the people, not
just for the benefit of big business.
The President said his proposal to
eliminate the 22 per cent depletion allowance
for U.S. companies who produce oil
overseas would stimulate domestic
production. A similar 22 per cent allowance
for domestically produced oil would not be
eliminated.
WASHINGTON President Nixon told
a group of Republican House members he is
"gonna fight like hell against impeachment,
one of the congressmen reported
Wednesday.
Rep. Peter H.B. Frelinghuysen. R-N.J..
one of 18 GOP congressmen who met with
Nixon Tuesday, quoted the President as
saying:
"There is a time to be timid. There is a time
to be conciliatory. There is a time to fly and
there is a time to fight. And I'm going to fight
like hell.
Frelinghuysen reported the President's
position as Nixon called in about the same
number of Democratic House members,
presumably to give them the same message.
Frelinghuysen's account was the first time
Nixon's views on impeachment were made
known. In a related development on Capitol
Hill, Senate Republican Leader Hugh Scott
said Wednesday he has seen material at the
White House which could warrant "several
indictments" against former presidential
counsel John W. Dean HI.
"I saw enough to convince me the person
involved Dean who gave testimony before
the Ervin committee testified to matters that
had not occurred at the dates and times he
said they occurred," Scott told reporters.
Dean, ousted by President Nixon last
April 30, said during lengthy sworn
testimony to Sen. Sam J. Ervin's Watergate
committee last summer that he believed the
President knew of the coverup of the
breakin-bugging.
Dean pleaded guilty Oct. 19 to one cour t
of obstructing justice, and Watergate
prosecutors gave him formal notice no other
charges would be brought unless it
developed that he had committed perjury.
Questioned as to the . White House
material he examined. Scott said "I'm not
going to say whal I saw." But he said of
Dean: "I would feel there is enough evidence
to indict him."
"Several indictments." he added when
pressed further on the point.
But in another development Wednesday, a
former aide to President Nixon predicted
convicted Watergate conspirator Egil "Bud"
Krogh will soon "spill his guts" in a
confession that could lead to President
Nixon's impeachment.
Edward L. Morgan, who resigned his
Treasury Department post Friday voicing
despair over Watergate's impact on the
government, made the prediction in an
interview with The Wall Street Journal.
Morgan said he thought Krogh. a close
friend of his, would "spill his guts" about the
White House "plumbers" operation that led
to his conviction on a guilty plea of one
conspiracy charge. Krogh faces sentencing
Thursday.
"Bud's confession and the tape erasures
will probably do the President in." Morgan
told the Journal. He said- he considers
impeachment inevitable.
"The Tanks" are coming. . .right down
Pennsylvania Avenue and into the Oval
office," he said. "If you think 1973 was bad,
wait until Christmas 1974 rolls around.
You'll think last year was a holiday."
Morgan. 35. an Arizona lawyer, was hired
as a presidential aide in 1969 and moved
through a series of White House assignments
before becoming an assistant Treasury
secretary, the job he quit Friday.
In April. 1969. Morgan was deputy White
House counsel and signed the deed that
allegedly transferred Nixon's vice
presidential papers to the government a
gift under investigation as to whether it was
tax-deductible.
