Gas bill fate up in the air
In Washington the fate of an emergency natural gas price decontrol measure hangs in the balance after Speaker Carl Albert refused to block floor amendments. The House may allow amendments to broaden the emergency bill while the Senate has passed five year decontrol. Rep. Dingell argues for broader deregulation amid industry lobbying and FPC concessions. Rep. Eckhardt blasts amendments as irresponsible. Albert cites House policy permitting only noncontroversial bills under suspension of the rules.
