Nixon Seeks to Avert Gasoline Rationing This Winter
President Nixon said he is working to ensure there will be no gasoline rationing this winter after a shift in Arab oil policy. The administration may announce a decision Thursday as energy adviser Simon holds a news conference. Nixon met with Simon and aides in the Oval Office, while Warren stressed the rationing remark was not a confirmation of a decision. The Arab embargo on U S oil remains in place, and Nixon flew to California for a post Christmas vacation aboard a DC10 to set an example amid the energy crisis. Caracas moved to raise taxes on foreign oil firms, likely lifting U S gasoline prices, though the amount is unclear.
