Ford Likely To Lift Gas Controls
President Ford appears prepared to decontrol gasoline despite strong opposition in Congress. Federal Energy Administrator Frank Zarb says the move could be delayed until March 4 and includes a backstop that would reimpose price controls if prices rise beyond two cents per gallon. Congress would have 15 days to block the plan, giving Carter a chance to rescind after January 20.
