Energy adviser accuses Nixon of oil antitrust exemptions
Former State Department official James Akins testified that starting in 1970 the Nixon administration secretly granted U S oil firms broad antitrust exemptions to help them form a united front against potential nationalization by Arab states. He said the arrangement was largely written by the oil companies. The energy bill emerged from a House Senate conference and remained unresolved amid windfall profits tax debate as Congress adjourned.
