Rep.

John Melcher, chairman of the conference committee, said the bill probably will reach the House floor for a final vote in about two weeks. 'Ihe House and Senate must approve or disapprove it as written. It cannot be amended. in last-minute action, the ferees approved a plan making each oil company using the pipeline liable for $14 million in damages from marine oil spills. The firms will pay one to five cents per barrel into a pool for additional liability up to $100 million.

An earlier proposal for the government, to insure the liability pool until the fund reached $100 million was scrapped. In another final vote, the conferee approved an amendment requiring the Federal Trade Commission to consult with the Justice Department before bringing any court action. If the department does not act within 10 days, the commission will be free to take legal action on its own. Under present law, the commission must rely on the department to initiate court action. The pipeline is designed to carry North Slope crude oil to the port city of Valdez on the Gulf of Alaska.

It will be shipped by tanker to West Coast ports from Valdez. The North Slope field contains an estimated minimum of 10 billion harrels of oil. The pipeline will earn two million harrels a day. The United States is expected to consume 22 million barrels, of oil daily by 1980. The bill grants a 25-foot right of w'ay on each side of the pipeline, plus additional footage as needed to accommodate construction, environmental and safety work It also contains language designed to block lawsuits by environmentalists seeking to de lay the project.
