Ford energy plan to require sacrifices by all Americans
Treasury Secretary Simon says President Ford will unveil an energy conservation program that will require personal sacrifices from all Americans. He warned the plan would be tough, comprehensive, and effective and hinted at tax cuts and aid for the unemployed. Greenspan testified unemployment could rise above 7 percent this year and only slowly fall, with recovery in late 1976. Simon stressed anti inflation and recession fighting, ruling out fuel rationing while noting possible oil price increases and tax rebates funded by energy measures.
