Senate approves Connally oil regulation bill in bid for reform
The Senate passed the Connally oil regulation measure without debate, substituting for Thomas of Oklahoma's bill. It would authorize presidential regulation of oil imports on tariff commission advice, ratify the Dallas interstate oil conservation compact, and make permanent the Connally hot oil law. An amendment by O Mahoney would let other producing states join once they ratify. A motion by Georgia’s George to reconsider stalled action, while California’s McAdoo urged constituent protests on imports. House outlook uncertain, with Cole’s subcommittee favoring a permanent petroleum board and voluntary accords.
