Gasoline Price Hike Scheduled to Counter Supply Cuts
Energy Chief William E. Simon announced a one cent per gallon price increase to help station operators cope with a 20 percent drop in fuel supplies. The move, effective January, follows a shift of price control authority to the Federal Energy Office as part of Nixon era measures. Simon cited concerns over stockpiling and pledged enforcement of fuel allocation rules while announcing the plan on NBC and at a news conference.

Congress plans to contract out base support work
Congressman Jerome R. Waldie claims an unpublished OMB plan would privatize up to one third of civil service jobs on military bases, shifting work to a single contractor per base and affecting 70 Air Force bases. He cites a 1975 start and possible connections to Litton and ITT. Weather: fair with clouds, New Year’s Day cool in mid 50s to low 60s.
