Energy committee debates bills on energy secretary powers
Jackson and Sen Charles Percy challenge a staff drafted bill that would limit the secretary of energy from setting wellhead oil prices and interstate gas rates. Ribicoff argues the staff version stems from Friday discussions, while Schlesinger’s allies warn tighter controls could hinder administration goals. Jackson pushes amendments reflecting political and jurisdictional considerations. If the committee uses the Ribicoff draft, many amendments from the administration could be offered, reducing the chance of a single adoption.
