Carter presses for gas price controls amid Senate setback
President Carter pushes for continuing federal price controls on natural gas despite a preliminary Senate defeat. Allies Metzenbaum Abourezk and Durkin released a study claiming a phaseout would cost 183.5 billion through 1985 and vow full debate. Jackson’s bid to deregulate failed 52 to 46, leaving the plan alive. Carter seeks an intrastate price rule within a new federal ceiling around 1.75 per thousand cubic feet.
