Senator Tower's office requested that the $2.2 million migrant-worker-program grant be given to the pro-Administration Lower Rio Grande Valley Development Council as opposed to the consortium of OEO CAP agencies. DOL has already announced that the OEO groups have the best proposal. If the Development Council were to receive the grant, there would be a significant plus for the Administration, as OEO's negative voice would be silenced, and the Council's positive feelings towards the Administration could be stressed.

Bizarre Suicide. The government is trying to press Westerners to buy more Iranian oil. Last year, claiming that its profits were being squeezed, the eight-country consortium that buys most of Iran's crude reduced its purchases by 750,000 bbl. a day and turned to cheaper Iraqi, Saudi, and Kuwaiti oil.

Dean Ebert should resign as an ex-officio member of the medical school consortium, citing political reasons...

They emphasize that Canadian firms, having found large deposits of natural gas in the Mackenzie River delta, would not only help to finance the pipeline but also use it to export surplus gas to the U.S. Adds William Brackett, the consortium's American vice chairman: "We've been shipping through the St. Lawrence Seaway for years without any friction between the nations. Besides, if Canada were to close the pipeline for some reason, the U.S. could retaliate easily. Almost all of western Canada's oil goes to eastern...
