Gas Rationing Considered by Ford Aides
William J. Meyer, cochairman of the Citizens Action Committee, said rationing is being seriously considered and could take effect January 1. He noted coupons are printed and ready, while an Interior Department spokesman cautioned no decision has been made and that rationing would be part of the Energy Resources Council report for a mid January decision.

Oil use cut blamed for slower economy by gas industry
A natural gas industry spokesman told officials that cutting oil consumption by one million barrels daily would slow the economy by about 3 percent and cause austerity, a stance opposed by government experts who argue waste reduction can save fuel without harming activity. The hearings precede Camp David talks on energy policy for a Ford State of the Union to Congress. Interior Secretary Morton floated a gasoline tax but questioned equitable redistribution, and noted possible use of the Defense Production Act to secure offshore drilling rigs if needed.
