Carter threatens tariff in oil row
The Carter administration warned Sunday it would levy a 15 billion dollar two year duty on imported oil if Congress blocks the proposed tax on domestic crude. Energy Secretary James R.

The House passed the wellhead tax last August, but Senate opposition risks delay, with Finance Committee resistance noted as a path to alternatives for revenue.
