Panel Raps Ford Oil Floor Price Plan
A congressional panel called the Ford administration proposal for a minimum world oil price a clumsy costly tool that could backfire by guaranteeing OPEC investments and hindering any drop in world prices. They warned a floor could become a large subsidy to producers and shift money from consumers if domestic costs fall below the floor.

Senate panel backs eliminating interest cap on US savings bonds
The Senate Finance Committee, acting on Treasury input, moved to remove the 6 percent cap on interest for Series E and H bonds. Chair Russell Long said small savers deserve a fair share as the government seeks to issue more debt. Immediate rates could rise, making bonds more attractive than passbook accounts. The panel also proposed extending the maximum maturity of treasury notes from 7 to 10 years and boosting long-term borrowing authority to 20 billion dollars.
