Senate blocks Rockefeller energy commission money
The Senate Appropriations Committee killed a $1 million request for New York Gov. Nelson Rockefeller's Commission on Critical Choices. Senators Bellmon and Hatfield cited political concerns tied to Rockefeller's 1976 presidential bid, noting the lack of authorized legislation and existing energy studies as reasons. Rockefeller said he would resign as governor while keeping options open for 1976.
