Senate liberals push a plan to raise natural gas prices in exchange for rolling back oil controls as part of a broader energy policy debate. The proposal aims to cut oil to 6.75 a barrel then rise to 9, while set a nationwide price for new natural gas at about 4.30 per thousand cubic feet, with existing state contracts and current gas pricing rules affected. The plan faces opposition from many Democrats who seek to retain or expand controls.
President Ford vetoed a $2.75 billion child nutrition bill saying it subsidizes non needy children and would worsen current programs.

The Senate approved lifting the U S arms embargo on Turkey and authorizing about 185 million dollars of American weapons. Ford supporters say the move helps monitor Soviet activity while Turkish leaders call it a step forward though not a full reversal of prior base restrictions.
