Carter’s bid to tax oil imports rejected by Congress
Congress blocked President Carter’s plan to impose an import fee on oil aimed at conservation. The bill would raise gasoline prices by about 10 cents per gallon, spreading costs to users of domestic oil through entitlements. The President argued for conservation, while critics warned higher fuel costs would lift bread and all prices, harming the economy. A prior federal ruling limited presidential authority to impose the fee.
