WASHINGTON—Federal Energy Administrator Frank G. Zarb predicted that the administration would increase billing and denied that the administration used misleading figuring to boost its revenue.
At a news conference on the eve of a scheduled House vote on the veto, Zarb stood by earlier administration predictions that the bill would cause heavy stress.

SLA members face sentence
SLA soldiers Russell Little, 25, and Joseph Remiro, 28, were convicted of murder and attempted murder in the assassination of Foster and the wounding of his top aide, Robert Blackburn 19 months ago.
The SLA used the killing of Foster with a cyanide tipped bullet as its calling card to the world. It claimed responsibility for the attack. The agency's security program as its murder motive.
One day after the victims were gunned down in a school administration parking lot, the gunman shot and killed four.
The trial of Little and Remiro was the first involving members of the SLA, which kidnapped newspaper heir Patricia Hearst three months after Foster's death
Jury foreman William Sprague said the jury reached its verdict against Remiro, 28, on Sunday, during its 10th day of deliberations.
But the jury was divided 9-3 on the Little verdict at that time, he said.

Morton announces nuclear reactor shift
WASHINGTON (AP)—The Ford administration announced yesterday a shift in emphasis from the controversial breeder reactor to conventional atomic power, and said private industry might get a chance to participate in nuclear fuel enrichment.
C Commerce Secretary Rogers C. B. Morton told reporters, "I think we will see some decisions by the President in short on the question of the fuel enrichment.
The still-experimental reactor, designed to produce more atomic fuel than traditional nuclear power, government as a second-generation atomic plant that would stretch the nation's nuclear fuel resources until such advanced new technology as power or solar energy could be developed.
But Morton said the breeder reactor might not become commercially available until the 1990s or the turn of the century. By that time, hydrogen could power well might be real competitors.
Morton said the need for a new emphasis on conventional atomic reactors was the primary topic last week, when the Cabinet-level Energy Resources Council,
which he heads, met at the President's Camp David retreat in Maryland.
He said that hundreds of conventional atomic plants would be built in the United States and abroad, and that improvements were needed in the handling and use of nuclear fuels, the storage of radioactive wastes and the standardization of plant designs.
He said the new emphasis might mean some shift of federal funding from breeder to conservation.
Conventional nuclear plants, their reactors cooled by ordinary water, can use as fuel only a rare form of uranium, a radioactive metal mined from the earth.
The breeder reactor operates at higher temperatures, its core cooled by molten sodium that can burn spontaneously on contact with a liquid, generating electricity the breeder can contain to more plentiful form of uranium into plutonium, which is useful as atomic fuel.
PHILADELPHIA (AP)—In a surprise move, Susan Edith Saxh, antwur radical and militant feminist, pleaded guilty to a robbery and theft from a federal arraign.
The sudden withdrawal of an innocent plea on the day her trial was to start was part of a deal with the government guaranteeing that she wouldn't be compelled to testify, in order to testimony, to testimony in any proceeding about events that occurred from 1989 until now.
Anti war radical withdraws innocent plea
Saxe, a 25-year-old Brandeis University honor graduate from Albury, said she didn't regret the 1970 crimes to which she was pleading guilty.
"That armed struggle against the American state was a valid and necessary escalation of the politics of the '68s," she said. "The Court of Justice is the District Court Judge Alfred L. Luong."
The government recommended a prison sentence of not more than 10 years for the $6,240 holdup of the Bell Savings and Loan Association in Philadelphia and two years, to run concurrently with the 10, for theft and crimes at the Newburyport, Mass., arsenal.
"The sentences are based on the government's understanding that I will give them nothing, ever, not in 10 years, not in a 100-day Saxe said in an eight-page statement.
Luongo said he would delay sentencing, as requested by opposing lawyers, until she was tried in Massachusetts on state charges of murder and bank robbery. The charges
result from the Sept. 26, 1970 holdup in Boston that netted three men and two women $3,000 and ended in the slaying of Patrolman Walter Schroeder.
Then, Asmt. U.S. Atty. Carmen C. Nasuti read a four-page agreement, outlining the guilty pleas, the recommendation on sentence and the government's promise that it will proceed to testify in any legal proceeding if she exercised her Fifth Amendment rights.
Saxe could be sentenced to up to 40 years in jail and fired up to $30,000 for the crimes he committed.
About 40 women supporters of Saxe crowded into the courtroom expecting proceedings to start with selection of a jury. Instead the defendant's chief counsel, Jürgen Leuchhardt of New Haven, Conn., informed Luongo the original plea would be withdrawn.
The government also agreed not to prosecute Saxe "for any possible involvement in bank robberies in Evanston, Ill., and Beverly Hills, Calif., in August 1970" or for alleged purchases of weapons in Portland, Ore.
