Energy Plan To House Floor Energy Plan To House Floor
The House began work on President Carter's energy program with 90 percent of the package in place. The Rules Committee cleared the bill for floor action as Democrats and aides briefed in a closed session. Provisions include taxes on inefficient cars and crude oil, weatherization credits, higher natural gas price controls, and an electric utility rate overhaul. A doubling of the 4 cent federal gasoline tax was recommended by a House energy committee. Republicans plan to press their own energy measure, with a floor fight over natural gas price controls and a proposed rise to 1.75 per thousand cubic feet. Carter would rebate part of revenues to consumers and use rest as tax credits. County forecast calls for sunny, very warm weather with mid 90s highs.
