White House lays out Nixon energy plan steps
President Nixon proposed a series of energy measures to blunt this winter's crisis. A Sunday gasoline sales ban would start Dec 1 on a voluntary basis and become mandatory with pending legislation, with no sales 9 p.m. Saturday to 12:01 a.m. Monday. Heating oil allocations would cut residential by 15 percent, commercial by 25 percent, and industrial by 10 percent starting Jan 1. Officials expect voluntary compliance earlier and stress no rationing tickets. Home heating may see a 15 percent reduction from last winter with thermostat cuts suggested. Natural gas and electric homes face voluntary thermostat targets to 68 degrees or lower to avoid shortages.
