Ford Ready to Cancel Gasoline Price Curbs
President Ford plans to end federal controls on gasoline prices, a move met with Democratic opposition in Congress. Officials say decontrol could lift prices by a small amount, with the Federal Energy Administration estimating a rise of about two cents per gallon, totaling roughly 130 million dollars daily nationwide. The plan, aimed at lifting controls on energy products by year end, faces possible congressional override before Carter's inauguration. Udall denounces the move as unfair and inflationary, while Ford weighs amnesty reconsideration for Vietnam-era draft evaders after a request from Jane Hart.
