Nixon calls for 5 percent cut in energy use and speed limit reforms
President Nixon urged states to lower highway speed limits to curb gasoline use and proposed a $10 billion, five year energy research program. He favors transforming the Interior Department into a Department of Energy and Natural Resources and creating an Energy Research and Development Administration. A White House Energy Policy Office would be led by Gov. John A. Love. The plan aims to reduce personal energy use by about 5 percent, raise air conditioner thermostats, favor high mileage cars, and slow highway traffic to save energy. The initiative also seeks to start fiscal 1975 and absorb most Interior functions into DENR.
