Senate approves intrastate gas price compromise
The Senate backed a Carter favored intrastate gas bill by 91 to 2 after swift talks with the House. A key Eckhardt amendment to cap interstate gas payments was dropped, replaced by guarantees that emergency high prices won’t raise intrastate contracts or affect existing emergency sales, with a White House letter to accompany the report. The compromise keeps intrastate pricing below interstate levels while shielding contracts and approving measures tied to Carter’s position.
