Emergency Energy Bills Readied For House Vote
The House Commerce Committee approved an amendment allowing President Nixon to set prices on coal crude oil and petroleum products to curb windfall profits. The Cost of Living Council announced a two cent per gallon rise for home heating oil and a one cent cut in gasoline prices, with heating oil increases likely in January. Saudi Arabia signaled possible phased relaxation of its embargo tied to Israeli withdrawal, while advisers considered ration plans with transferable coupons to combat black markets.
