Senate backs gas price deregulation move in Senate vote
The Senate approved a plan to phase out federal price controls on natural gas after a bitter fight and a two week filibuster by deregulation opponents.

Carter threatened to veto any bill ending federal control. In related Capitol Hill action, organized labor won an outcome in another matter.
