It has long been thought the LOOP project would be financed by revenue bonds. The state bond com- Marine Log SHIPPING ACTIVITY mission in Louisiana was reported by the Port Arthur News to have authorized sale of the bonds to finance partial construction of the No-Fault Insurance Legislation Killed WASHINGTON (UPI) By a narrow margin," the House Commerce Com. mittee Tuesday killed another attempt to win of no-fault auto insurance legislation. It was another victory for the American Trial Lawyers' Association," whose lobbying in the past 10 years has killed all previous bills submitted in the House and killed two of three attempts in the Senate.

The committee vote was 22-19. Two supporters of the bill, Reps. John Murphy" and Fred Rooney," were out of the room did not vote and four other Democrats counted as favoring the bill voted "no." They were Reps. Rogers of Walgren of Penn- John Dingell of 'Michigan and Bob Gam- image of Texas. I The Consumer Federation of America said all members who voted "no" probably will be targeted for campaign defeat attempts.

Noting that this was no- showing yet in the Eckhardt said he will try again next year. He attributed defeat to members wanting to cast a "safe" vote on the side of the politically gctive lawyers' lobby in the expectation that even if they voted "yes," the bill would have died on the House floor or in the Senate. Kathleen O'Leary, executive director of the CFA, said since the lawyers were "so enthralled about having their day in court (with accident cases) maybe we could establish a new crime congressional malpractice.

The Consumer Federation for one would like to sue certain members of this committee as the first defendants. They certainly caved in." S. Lynn Sutcliffe, head of the Committee for Consumers' No-Fault; said his organization," on behalf of "millions" of insurers and policyholders, was "bitterly disappointed" with the outcome. All but one of the committee's 14 Republicans, Rep. Matthew Rinaldo of New voted against the bill," joined by nine Democrats.
