Energy Minister Ray Hnatyshyn said approval had been given for exports from Western Canada of 106.2 billion cubic meters of gas between next January 1 and the end of 1987. HNATYSITYN, SPEAKING in parliament, rejected Opposition charges that the government was selling away Canada's abundant energy reserves at a time when it was agonizing over imported oil supplies like other Western countries. "The government is satisfied that future Canadian requirements have, been appropriately assessed and that the new exports are surplus to these requirements," he said. Canada is already committed to ex- port about 10 trillion cubic feet under contracts expiring by the early 1990s. The current export rate is about 1 trillion cubic feet a year. THE EXPORT approvals are expec- ted to permit the extension of some con- tracts scheduled to expire soon. They will also allow increased flows of gas through existing facilities and through the planned southern sections of the Alaska Highway natural gas pipeline. Although natural gas through the southern sections of the pipeline won't flow until 1981, some gas is expected to be exported beginning next year through " existing facilities. The im- mediate exports will be limited because of a lack of surplus capacity in existing pipelines. Hnatyshyn disclosed that a new study indicated that Canada had about one- third more gas in reserve than previously thought. Regulatory agencies had found "that remaining-recoverable reserves of gas in Western Canada are of the order of 72 trillion cubic feet, about one-third more than earlier estimates," he said. y ! > I j t o ft f . tt 0 .rr r r r t a l 1 r .- ti r t tY r e 'r t r r , r } r 1 r < e r .t r r r N:T_ , CH -0, L le C a r A .

Congress WASHINGTON (AP) Two of President Carter's most important legislative, proposals -- the SALT II treaty and the energy plan - will be delayed in Congress until next year, Senate leaders disclosed yesterday. The postponements will mean congressional consideration during a presidential election year, historically a bad time for pushing controversial legislation through either the House or Senate. SENATE MAJORITY Leader.Robert Byrd had previouslysaid he hoped to at least begin debate on the strategic ar- ms limitation treaty with the Soviet Union by year's end. There had even been earlier forecasts that the debate would begin in October with a final vote on ratification by early December. But yesterday, Byrd noted the slow pace of Senate consideration of the "windfall profits" tax on the oil in- dustry, and said: "I don't see how it (SALT II) could conceivably be brought up this year. Our time is running out." ASKED IF the delay into the election year will jeopardize approval of the arms pact, which requires a two-thirds Senate vote, Byrd said, "If it goes over to January, I would see no harm in that." Meanwhile, Sen. Henry Jackson (D- Wash. ), chairman of the Senate Energy Committee, said in an interview that there is no chance the president's multibillion-dollar energy plan will clear Congress before both houses quit work for the year just before Christ- mas. The House and Senate have approved competing versions of two separate energy measures urged by Carter, a synthetic fuels development bill and creation of a powerful Energy Mobilization Board to speed construc- tion of energy projects. DIFFERENCES must be resolved by congressional conference committees which Jackson said will meet for the first time, probably beginning tomorrow. Both conference committees are much larger in number than the usual makeup of such panels, and Jackson said there are major differences to'be worked out before compromise ver- sions of both bills are sent to the House and Senate for final votes. "We won.'t have anything ready for the House or Senate floor this month,". Jackson BYRD ;# ;QD, planned to close out the current session of the Senate'four days before Christmas, and reconvene in late January. Yesterday, he said, December 21 "would have to be the date we stop for Christmas," implying a possible return immediately after New Year's Day. The Senate has been debating the oil tax legislation for three weeks : The measure, which would tax the ad- ditional revenue oil companies.' will receive as a result of the phasing out of federal price controls on domestic oil, is expected to be on the floor for another week. There is no guarantee that Congress will take final votes on the tax this year. In addition, the House and Senate are also being asked to give federal finan- cial aid to the Chrysler Corp. There is considerable opposition to the rescue effort. Sen. Lowell Weicker Jr. (R-Conn. for one, has said he will filibuster to block Senate approval.
