Ford Signs Energy Bill Swings Toward Price Rollback
Washington AP The energy bill signed by President Ford aims to roll back crude oil prices to 7.86 per barrel creating potential small gasoline savings of about 2.5 cents per gallon. Federal Energy Administrator Frank Zarb cautioned that gains will be offset by higher costs from oil exporters and industry price increases, possibly leaving savings near 1.5 cents per gallon. If price controls end by early 1979, and vetoing the bill would have triggered immediate price rises. Ford opposed the bill favoring rapid removal with a windfall tax rather than gradual control.
