California Long Beach oil price differential denied
The Federal Energy Administration rejected requests from California and Long Beach for equal crude prices. The decision risks California about 30 million dollars yearly and Long Beach about 475 thousand, as heard in hearings this year. Representatives Hannaford Anderson and McFall criticized the ruling citing a 6.2 cent California differential versus 2 cents elsewhere. The oil price gap hinges on oil gravity, with California wells already closing due to policy.

Ford still undecided on compromise energy bill
President Ford has not committed to the compromise energy bill and will study the final language, a decision described as a close call by Press Secretary Ron Nessen. The proposal would end oil price controls by 1979, with Zarb backing it, while critics say consumer relief may be limited to around a penny per gallon.
