Energy bill advances in House Commerce Committee
The House Commerce Committee approved an emergency energy bill sought by President Nixon to slow clean air efforts and authorize gasoline rationing. It would create a Federal Energy Administration and allow temporary antitrust exemptions for major oil companies to plan fuel allocations. The measure runs through May 1975 and sets 1975 emission standards with looser 1977 clean air rules.
