Ford oil plan seeks gradual price rise to cut foreign dependence
President Ford proposed a compromise price control plan aiming to raise gasoline prices about seven cents a gallon by 1978 as a step toward independence from foreign producers. The plan caps all domestically produced oil at $13.50 a barrel, allows new oil to reach that price immediately, and phases old oil up over 30 months. Congressional and White House reactions mixed, with some leaders endorsing and others cautioning about speed and inflation.
