Congress rejects standby gasoline rationing amid regional allocation fights as shortages persist in California and other states. The Justice Department will examine anti trust implications of a threatened May gas station shutdown. United States and China move toward a formal trade pact, with China to receive 41 cents on the dollar for $196.9 million in seized property claims.
