Federal energy chief James Zarb says the discounted fuel price plan could save consumers about 25 cents per gallon on petroleum products, with temporary cuts to prices and a rollback planned through March 1979. He urges President Ford to sign, while critics warn of greater foreign oil dependence as congressional negotiations continue. The measure would keep controls through 1979 and roll back domestic oil prices from about 10.50 to 7.66 per barrel, aided by removing a $2 tariff.
