Higher Gas Taxes May Be Delayed In Congress
In a bid to phase in higher gasoline taxes, Chairman Al Ullman proposes delaying increases until states test fuel allocations. He envisions raising the federal tax to 87 cents per gallon by 1980 after a nine gallon weekly allotment, with current tax at four cents. The plan aims for a budget compromise with energy programs and the oil import fee, while administration stance and political opposition are noted.
