Gas Bill Backers Win Vote in House
House vote 272-153 to consider a bill by Rep. Harris to strip the Federal Power Commission of price setting for gas sold across state lines. Backers say it would boost production and lower consumer prices, while opponents warn higher bills and reduced regulation. The measure faces a doubtful Senate outlook and could hinge on a January session.
