The Saudi decision was reported to members of the House and Senate, in- cluding Rep. John Dingell (D-Mich.), who conferred with Carter at Camp David as the president conducted a con- tinuing series of conversations about the nation's energy and economic problems. Meanwhile, in Louisville, Ky., at the governor's conference John O'Leary resigned as deputy secretary of energy. O'LEARY DISCLOSED his ,resignation to the governors at the close of a meeting to discuss coal transpor- tation. The deputy energy secretary, who had disclosed recently that he planned to leave the Carter administration, said to the governors as the meeting closed, "I guess this is the last meeting I'll have with you. I submitted my resignation just before flying down here." High-level changes among Carter energy advisers have been rumored for some time, and with greater intensity since the president began reviewing domestic policies at Camp David. HOUSE MAJORITY Leader Jim Wright (D-Texas), said: "I prophesy that when the president comes down off the mountain - and it won't be 40 days and 40 nights - he will have a com- prehensive, effective, hard-hitting program to offer to the American people." House Speaker Thomas O'Neill (D- Mass.), said he expected Carter to go on television and radio to present his new energy plan once the Camp David deliberations are over and that "he will make a strong pitch for energy conser- vation."

Bicycles, from basic two-speeds to expensive ten- speeds, are the fastest mode of tran- sportation in the city, according to Ann Arbor Police Major Walter Hawkins. And because bikes are so plentiful in this town, they are often ripped off. According to police statistics, 566 bike thefts were reported in Ann Arbor in 1978, valued at more than $76,000. And 109 of them were ripped off during July, the most active month for bicycle thieves. Police Sgt. Dave Miller said 43 bikes were reported stolen during the last week of June this year alone. OF THESE 566 bikes reported stolen last year, just one is still missing. "The chance (of recovering a bike) . . . is See JULY, Page 2 ANN ARBOR, LIKE other college towns, is a haven for bike thieves. Bicycles locked to objects such as fire hydrants (above) and bike racks can be easy prey for the experienced thief.
