The House backed its version of a natural gas bill with an emergency purchase limit of about 2.02 per sale, sending the measure to a Senate compromise and toward President Carter. Key speeches cited winter distress as governors and lawmakers urged swift action while lawmakers debated interstate pipeline sales and price controls. Kansas Governor Bennett urged federal care but warned against intrastate gas transfers to interstate use.

Arctic Gas proposal endorsed over El Paso and Alcan plans
Federal Power Commission judge Nahum Litt recommended approving the Arctic Gas Study Group plan to build a 4000 mile 48 inch pipeline from Alaska through Canada to the lower 48. The Arctic proposal would employ 2400 workers at peak and transport 2 to 2.5 billion cubic feet daily by 1982 or 1983, at about $1.60 per thousand cubic feet in year five, less than the competing El Paso and Alcan plans.
