Energy Chief vows action on unlawful gas prices
Energy secretary William E. Simon said criminal action will be taken against firms charging illegal gasoline prices. He told ABC that fines and prosecution will follow under new authority, and the office is pressing oil firms to limit sales to 10 gallons per customer. He cautioned rationing would be avoided if Arab oil leaks stop, but warned leakage makes limits harder to judge. Egyptian envoy Ashraf Gharbal linked lifting the embargo to territorial outcomes.
