Gas Price Probe Ordered By Federal Trade Commission
A double barreled inquiry into gasoline prices will be conducted by the Federal Trade Commission following President Cassidge’s request for a probe. The Senate adopted a resolution urging immediate action to ascertain the facts. Governor Byrd of Virginia brought the matter to the White House, suggesting government scrutiny of price elevations. The administration indicated the commission would focus on supplier consolidations and production shortfalls versus legal violations. Ten years ago a similar FTC inquiry failed to prove violations, with experts attributing high prices to supply and demand.
