Cabinet move possible energy agency to replace FEA
Congress votes to dismantle the Federal Energy Administration next year and create a Cabinet level energy department. An amendment would lift price controls on low yield wells, raising gasoline prices by seven tenths of a cent per gallon. The House and Senate differ on extension of the FEA and a conference committee will reconcile the bills. The new department would assume FEA programs and other energy and conservation programs.
