Ford oil price decontrol plan eyed as tariff cut proposed
The Ford administration offers to drop a 60 cent per barrel tariff on refined petroleum imports if Congress approves decontrol of domestic crude oil prices. The plan would save consumers about 1.2 million dollars daily by lowering refined oil costs while keeping crude tariffs at 2 dollars per barrel. Congress' Rules Committee cleared votes on energy measures, with a Krueger amendment tying decontrol to a windfall profits tax. States likely to gain most from tariff removal include California New York New Jersey and Pennsylvania among others.

End to OAS sanctions against Cuba raises conditional path
The OAS vote to end sanctions meets Fidel Castro's condition for U.S. ties but does not guarantee resumed relations. The United States backed the majority in a 16 to 3 decision with Brazil Nicaragua abstaining and Chile Uruguay and Paraguay voting no. The Cuba embargo remains, requiring congressional repeal for any lift, and claims of Cuban property claims complicate progress. Chief U.S. delegate Maillard says the resolution places the Cuban problem in perspective.
