Harris gas bill threatens price shocks and party split
The Harris natural gas bill would shift price regulation from the Interstate Commerce Commission to state commissions, likely raising gas costs for about 25 million consumers and risking a Democratic party split. It follows the Kerr bill, with Lyndon Johnson and heavy lobbying in support in Washington. Opponents warn of possible $600 million annual cost increases and weak safeguards. The article also notes U.S. college and university enrollment topping three million, led by California, New York, and Minnesota schools, with 1.784 million men and 937,000 women.
