“From 90 to 95 per cent of our

natural gas,” he said. “We are
moving in the direction now for

there is need for a tax incentive
for plants to transfer to coal
from natural gas.”

“This is not something we’re

HOUSTON (AP) - Gov.
Dolph Briscoe has repeated his
statement that President Ford’s
proposed user tax on natural
gas would be a disaster to
Texas. I
Briscoe first made the state-
ment Jan. 16 in Washington,
after Ford’s State of the Union
message had called for a tax of
37 cents per 1,000 cubic feet.
The Texas governor delivered
the message again in person
Monday night during a private
dinner he and four other Demo-
cratic goyernors had with the
President
“The imposition of such a tax
would be a disaster insofar as
the economy of the state of
Texas is concerned,” Briscoe
told newsmen after the dinner.
“I don't know that there was
any response from the Presi-
dent but, in my opinion, the tax
would be a disaster to Texas.”
Briscoe said the tax would
cost Texans 61.68 billion in that
most of the state's industrial

American specialists have
raised a question about an ap-

of Soyuz 16, which was launched
in December to practice
maneuvers and techniques for
the joint American-Russian
mission.
It required three, instead of
one, spacecraft maneuvers to
achieve the Apollo practice ren-
dezvous, but Soviet officials
said this was planned all along.
Some Americans are skeptical
and are examining the orbital
figures carefully with Russian
trajectory experts.
