Schlesinger Defends Oil Tax Amid Market Skepticism
Washington Secretary James R. Schlesinger told the Senate Finance Committee that OPEC is not the sole driver of high oil prices and a freer market could raise prices. He signaled flexibility on Carter's windfall profits tax, noting possible exemptions and the potential for more revenue if world prices rise faster than expected. He warned demand and supply forces, not just OPEC, push prices higher and supported using tax proceeds for synthetic fuels with possible reductions in spending if prices climb.
