House Debates Energy Reorganization Bill Debate over price control provisions
The House moves toward creating a new energy department as President Carter seeks a cabinet agency to run national energy policy. A major clash centers on giving the energy secretary power to set natural gas and oil prices, with Moss proposing independent regulation for gas and the administration resisting. The Senate backs a three member board but with presidential veto power. Moss would strip that veto. A Commerce subcommittee begins considering non tax energy measures including home insulation programs and related tax credits.
