Nixon orders oil import quota increase to ease shortage
President Nixon ordered a 100000 barrel per day rise in oil import quotas mainly from Canada and targeted east of the Rockies to curb a potential shortage and curb price gains.

Lincoln said the move should not hurt prices and winter reliability hinges on other factors.
