Ford signs oil price control bill
President Ford signed a bill extending domestic oil price controls to November 15 and attacked Congress for lacking an energy policy. OPEC had announced a 10 percent price increase, likely raising U S prices at the pump by about 1 to 2 cents per gallon. Ford urged action before further rises and outlined a plan to ease controls to boost U S production. Senate Leader Mansfield warned the rhetoric could hinder a compromise on energy.
