Congress and Ford administration edge toward final approval of a broad energy bill that would set a national policy, extend oil price controls, and potentially trim gasoline and heating oil costs by about 3.5 cents per gallon. The plan includes conservation rules, standby rationing authority, and possible Alaska oil price incentives, with controls to lapse only if agreed upon by Congress and the White House.
