Natural Gas Price Increases Urged By FPC Official
FPC commissioner James Watt told the Interstate Oil Compact Commission that natural gas prices must rise to avert curtailments.

He warned current prices of 52 cents per thousand cubic feet hinder exploration and urged investor incentives despite anticipated higher costs for consumers.
