Flexible Oil Quota System Wins Test
The House rejected a plan to make the U S government the sole buyer and seller of imported oil by a 224 to 185 vote, preserving a flexible quota system. The bill maintains a 6 million barrel daily quota this year and next, rising to 6.5 million in 1977, then fluctuating to 5.5 million in 1979, with presidential authority to adjust quotas up to 2 million barrels daily from 1980 onward. Senate priorities shift toward the House bill for President Ford before the August recess, as debate continues on amendments to the energy package.
