in march 1979, after attorney general griffin b. bell named a special counsel in the carter warehouse investigation, byrd stated his dissatisfaction with the move in a senate floor speech, citing the existence of legislation approved by congress the previous year that would allow the appointment of a special prosecutor. in june, director of public citizens congress watch mark green stated that president carter had told him that majority leader byrd had threatened that he would personally lead a filibuster against any attempt to extend controls on domestic oil prices. in response, byrd press secretary mike willard confirmed that byrd told president carter he would not vote for cloture in the event of a filibuster. days later, after the senate voted to grant president carter authority to set energy conservation targets for each of the 50 states and allow carter to impose mandatory measures on any state that failed to implement a plan to meet the targets he set, byrd reaffirmed his opposition to attempts aimed at president carter's decision to remove price controls from crude oil produced within the united states. in november, byrd stated that the united states did not have an alternative to coal when attempting to meet its energy needs and that the technology needed to turn coal into liquid fuel at a lower cost than that of producing gasoline had already been made available, opining that doing this would solve most environmental problems. weeks later, sergeant at arms of the united states senate f. nordy hoffman sent a letter to byrd warning him to take precautions against possible attacks by religious fanatics and nationalist terrorists and advocating for senators "vary their daily routines, take different routes to and from the senate, exchange their personalized license plates for those that provide anonymity and be generally alert to the possibility of attack." byrd distributed the letter to the other members of the chamber of congress. in december, the senate voted on a republican proposal to limit overall government tax revenue that would also yield an annual tax cut of 39 billion to 55 billion over the course of the following four years. republican william v. roth jr. sponsored an amendment that byrd moved to table senator roth's request for a budget waiver and won by five votes. the senate narrowly blocked the proposal. by december, congressional leadership was aiming for president carter to sign a new synthetic fuels bill before christmas, with byrd wanting the bill to contain a 185 billion revenue that was achieved in a minimum tax provision. later that month, after the senate approved a 1.5 billion in federal loan guarantees for the chrysler corporation tonight after defeating a proposal to provide emergency, byrd confirmed that he had spoken with united states secretary of the treasury g. william miller about what byrd called "excellent" chances that the senate would complete work on a federal loans guarantees bill for chrysler.
