Ford's energy plan moves to curb gas imports

President Ford unveiled two energy proposals to speed Alaska natural gas development and curb foreign LNG. One plan would grant him authority to pick between Alaska gas routes, subject to Congress, and require a new law. The second would impose a strict import quota on liquefied natural gas with no new law needed. Ford urged deregulation of domestic gas prices to raise output and asked Congress to back a $1 billion 15-year program aiding energy-resource development on federal lands. The White House also pledged $5 million over five years to boost international safeguards against nuclear theft and terrorism.

FBI halted efforts to detect undercover agents in U S

Washington FBI has ended over the past decade most work to identify and track Soviet and other hostile undercover agents inside the United States. Hoover phased out programs in the late 1960s and early 1970s, shifting focus to domestic radical groups, leaving the country more open to covert operatives. Sources say mail opening and immigration checks were cut, though occasional payoffs emerged from past methods, and NSA helped locate transmitter sites for Soviet intelligence. The FBI still tracks roughly 800 known agents, but ongoing counterintelligence programs were largely terminated by Hoover by 1971.
