Washington AP outlines Nixon the energy emergency program. Key points include reducing home thermostats to 68 daytime and 65 to 68 in government buildings, a possible gasoline rationing plan, proposed heating oil rationing in four weeks, and a 50 mph speed limit for federal vehicles with carpool incentives. Also considered are year round daylight savings, lighting curbs, possible tax/fees, mass transit boosts, and potential temporary price controls. Energy shortages are described as 10 percent below demand now, worsening if Arab oil cuts persist, with heating oil and jet fuel most scarce.
