Howard Hanson Symphony No. 7, "A Sea Symphony" (1977)
Roger Sessions Symphony No. 9 (1978)
Roy Harris Bicentennial Symphony 1776 (1974)
Paul Creston Symphony No. 6 "Organ Symphony" for organ and orchestra, Op. 118 (1981) close enough
Vincent Perschetti Symphony no.9 ‘Sinfonia janiculum’, op.113, 1970

I would add Peter Mennin's magnificent Symphony No. 8 (1973) and Symphony No. 9 "Sinfonia Capriccioso"(1981)- both on the same New World Records cd- and William Schuman"s Symphony No.10 "American Muse" (1975) on RCA and Naxos cds.

Of the symphonies listed above neither the Harris nor the Creston is on cd-although both can be heard in off-air recordings. The Harris is regarded by many as embarrassingly dreadful.The Sessions 9th is rather a tough nut- the opposite to the romantic Hanson or Creston.

I should have also added that the Hanson is available on Bay Cities and Naxos cds, the Sessions on a Phoenix cd and the Persichetti on RCA Japan (which may well be very difficult to track down!).

I especially enjoy the Hanson symphonies.... he is known as the "American Sibelius"... born of Swedish parents.....(even tho Sibelius was Finnish)....

Thanks for your kindly answer .I know Hanson and Harris but i would prefer more details about  composers like Wayne Barlow or from less known states like Dakota,Ohio ,Utah or Wisconsin etc.... that
nevertheless have  musical life.Or works performed by Louisville Orchstra that IMHO make a great effort to promote contemporary music.

How strict are you about it being in the 1970's?  Would you consider Benjamin Lees Symphony No. 3 (1969)?  Also fine is No. 4 (1984) which is probably stretching your date range a bit but nevertheless he's a fine American symphonist who happened to take the '70's off.

I would also investigate the American Classics series by Naxos.   There are a few hundred there that are worthy of acquiring.
