Administration rejects mandatory gas rationing plan
The administration rejected compulsory gasoline rationing and urged voluntary allocation by the petroleum industry. Deputy Treasury Secretary William E. Simon said the Interior Department's Office of Oil and Gasoline would keep power to require suppliers to aid customers showing improper allocations. The plan, announced to the Senate Banking Committee, asks refiners and distributors to allocate to each customer the same proportion of gasoline as before shortages. It aims to protect independent stations and prevent price discrimination against them.
