Energy Bill Aims to Cut Gas Prices Pending Senate House Action
Energy legislation would establish a national policy, extend oil price controls through March 15, 1979, and authorize gasoline rationing if needed. It forecasts an immediate 3.5 cent drop in gasoline or heating oil prices, with a rise to about 63.5 cents per gallon by mid 1977, depending on factors. The measure, despite Democratic support in conferees, lacks Republican signatories and moves toward final approval this month.
