Public transport and ! 86: entertainment are regarded as violations of the holy day and do not ! 87: function from sunset Friday to sunset Saturday. ! 88: The rabbis complained that when clocks moved forward by one ! 89: hour, buses and movie theaters started to operate before the ! 90: Sabbath ended. ! 91: ``There was severe desecration of the Sabbath,'' said Rabbi ! 92: Yehiel Halevy, secretary of the official Chief Rabbinate Council. ! 93: ``We don't support the violence, but we still demand the law be ! 94: changed to do away with daylight-saving time next year.'' ! 95: Energy conservationists insist the electricity saved by turning ! 96: on lights an hour later easily justified daylight-saving. They also ! 97: say daylight-saving time has been adopted by the United States, ! 98: Europe and much of the rest of the world and is essential for ! 99: energy-starved Israel. ! 100: ``Estimates of the energy savings run from $1 million to $10 ! 101: million,'' said an Energy Ministry official. ``But even if the ! 102: saving is minimal, we should still do it next year.'' ! 103: Israeli law requires daylight-saving, but it took a bitter court ! 104: fight before the system finally was adopted for the first time this ! 105: summer. ! 106: The Interior Ministry, which is the country's timekeeper, is ! 107: headed by Yosef Burg, a leader of the National Religious Party, on ! 108: which Prime Minister Menachem Begin's coalition depends for a ! 109: majority in Parliament. ! 110: For years Burg ignored the law and refused to authorize ! 111: daylight-saving time. But last July the Supreme Court upheld an ! 112: appeal by a secular citizen and ordered the government to set ! 113: clocks forward in summer. ! 114: The Interior Ministry fought bitterly in court, going so far as ! 115: to produce doctors to testify that daylight-saving upsets people's ! 116: ``biorythms.'' ! 117: The religious lobby wants the law requiring daylight-saving ! 118: repealed.

Of the total, $900 million would ! 172: come from taxes on the chemical industry and $300 million from the ! 173: federal treasury. ! 174: The scope of the project is limited compared with the Senate's ! 175: proposed $4 billion, six-year program, which is pending in the ! 176: Senate Finance Committee. ! 177: The House bill covers only the actual costs of cleaning up a ! 178: dump. The Senate version, by contrast, sets aside one-third of its ! 179: fund for compensating chemical waste victims for everything from ! 180: medical expenses to property damage. ! 181: Two smaller ``superfunds'' would be created by a second bill ! 182: before the House. It would set up one fund for oil spills and one ! 183: for hazardous substance spills, putting them in a separate category ! 184: than waste dumps. ! 185: Those funds would get their money from new excise taxes on oil, ! 186: petrochemical feedstocks and certain inorganic chemicals.
