Senate panels near approval of energy substitutes
In Washington two Senate committees move toward approving their own energy program substitutes as Ford’s clash with Congress over oil tariffs continues. The Interior Committee plans to advance a gasoline rationing bill granting the President standby authority with congressional consent for future fuel shortages. The Commerce Committee weighs energy efficiency labels for autos and appliances and a ceiling on new natural gas prices with inflation adjustments. The Democratic task force, led by Senator Pastore and Representative Wright, will reconvene to shape the final plan, which rejects Ford’s aim to cut imported oil by two million barrels daily.
