WASHINGTON - In a surprise move, the House Government Operations Committee yesterday voted to lift U.S. oil companies of the right to purchase oil from Mexico as part of its plan to curb trade.

The bill, passed with support from Rep. John Conyers, D-Mich., the U.S. government would become the "sole importer" for oil produced by the drillers, and would be allowed to purchase oil from the oil company.

LONDON (AP)—President Carter arrived last night on his first overseas mission since taking office. He said he brought new initiatives for a weekend economic summit conference with seven of the world's richest nations.
Carter was greeted at London's Heathrow Airport by Prime Minister James Callaghan, who welcomed Carter on behalf of Europe and said the summit would attempt "nothing less than to overcome obstacles" and "build our economies in a healthier state."
Bareheaded in a drizzling rain, Carter replied that he was "very proud to come to London" because of Britain's historic ties with the United States and her special and very personal relationship."
Carter said before leaving Washington that the summit was aimed at solving unemployment and curbing the "rampant robbing of people by inflation." He told reporters en route to London he had new initiatives, but didn't elaborate on them.

Frost interview fails to enlighten public in Carter's opinion
LONDON (UPI)—President Carter said yesterday that he thought former President Richard Hixon was candid in admitting he tied to the American people during the Watergate affair, but he doubled that impression, and保斯 interview "englanced" the public.
Carter told reporters en route to the London economic summit conference that he watched the first 15 minutes and the last 30 minutes of a televised interview televised Wednesday night.
"Well, I didn't change my mind," Carter said. "I think he was frank in saying that he tied to the American people on some of the statements that he made.
"I think Nixon has convinced himself that he did not violate the law. It was an interesting discussion, but I doubt that the American people were enlightened by it." A reporter asked Carter whether he thought Nixon had violated the law.
"Well. I don't know." Carter said.
The President said he might ask Nixon for advice when Secretary of State Cyrus Vance prepared for his trip to China later this year.
"It might be advantageous to have conversations with President Nikon," Carter said. "I would probably not do it because I didn't know about the special relationship with China."
"But if a question came up we couldn't answer without consulting President Nixon, who knew that he had been wrong."

The President was whisked into the city, where he is staying at Winfield House, official residence of the American ambassador, in Regent's Park.
Carter planned to spend today on a sightseeing tour through historic places in northeastern England. U.S. officials said there were no plans for him to seek out his ancestral home during the trip even though he did his family had its roots in England.
