State may face problems giving info on licensed drivers
Lincoln Nebraska officials warn that mandatory gasoline rationing could force a list of all licensed drivers to be provided. Ehrlich and Peters met with federal energy officials in Washington on how the energy crisis affects Nebraska. Federal officials tied rationing to the Arab embargo, and Ehrlich noted a real chance rationing could arrive, requiring a manual driver list at great labor cost, potentially reimbursable if funded. Carpenter urged waiting for federal legislation before compiling any list while Peters said no current plan to shift electricity. He advised guarding against transfers until needs are met and mentioned fertilizer shortages with high agricultural priority.
