Natural gas price reform proposal aims to lower consumer costs
In a stance by George H. Lawrence, the Natural Gas Policy Act Reform Amendments of 1983 seek a middle ground to reduce prices without full decontrol or broad industry restructuring. Introduced by Rep. Jim Slattery and Rep. Dan Coats, the bill would renegotiate high priced contracts, limit take-or-pay, end favored nation clauses, study rate designs, promote exploration, and avoid recontrol of new gas. It aims to save consumers about six billion dollars in 1984 and 1985 while maintaining supply and orderly transition to a deregulated market.
