Also listed was.

Congressional approval of the President's Middle East doctrine and the international farm trade development program, ending rapid tax writeoffs, and the enactment of legislation to protect FBI files.

West, Russia Agree To End Arms Talks LONDON UP Russia and the West agreed Friday to adjourn the deadlocked U.N. sub committee disarmament talks in London without setting a date for another meeting.

British and U.S. officials said after a hour meeting that Russia had agreed to adjourn talks. They said no date was fixed for renewed meeting of the subcommittee in New York, as proposed by the Western powers Thursday. The Soviet Union therefore appeared to have gained its pointthat the subcommittee should report back to the 12-nation U.N. Disarmament Commission.

The commission in turn would submit report and recommendations for a future action to -the General Assembly. The Soviets Thursday had proposed that the Assembly debate the disarmament question as a high priority basis. On the debit side the Coloradans noted that Congress had failed to act on any important farm legislation any labor legislation and on the federal ald to education bill. No action was taken on continuing inflation, while interest rates still climb. The cutbacks in defense spending initiated by both Congress and the Pentagon concerned the Coloradans because of their impact on Colorado installations, particularly Fort Carson.

And they noted: that Congress was very cool to reclamation legislation. Congress also failed to take action on legislative proposals directly affecting the state, such as the sliding scale import tax on lead and zinc, and aid to other metals, and on the proposed 27.5 per cent depletion allowance for oil shale. The House Appropriations Committee served notice that if the Rifle Oil Shale plant is not disposed of, it would not provide any more money to maintain the plant. The Administration failed to recommend and Congress did not provide funds to start the much-delayed Paonia project. And the Bureau of Public Roads has not yet decided how to allocate the remaining 1,000 miles still unallocated in the interstate highway system.
