Texans unimpressed with Connally endorsement
The Associated Press reports Texans are divided over Governor Connally backing Ford for the Republican nomination. Some, like Dallas County Republicans’ William McKenzie, see Connally as Ford's running mate, while Reagan supporters like Dallas delegate John Leedman call the move late and unlikely to sway Texas delegates bound to Reagan through two ballots at the national convention.

Price hike boosts interstate natural gas sales
Houston AP reports that a tripling of wellhead prices for new natural gas may ease interstate supply. The Federal Power Commission opened the market to 1.01 to 1.42 dollars per thousand cubic feet, while old gas remains under existing contracts at 20 to 52 cents. Exxon and Texas independents urge full deregulation to spur new exploration, saying current policy limits market-driven price signals.

Consumer groups challenge rise in national gas price
Consumer advocates led by Energy Action challenge the Federal Power Commission’s plan to raise the nationwide ceiling on interstate natural gas prices. They seek reconsideration and an injunction delaying the increase, arguing the move is too high and lacks reinvestment requirements. The commission set new ceilings for 1974-75 gas supplies, while intrastate gas remains largely unregulated.

Texas gas price shift sparks deregulation debate
Texas producers and industry leaders debate FPC actions raising interstate gas prices from 52 cents to up to 1.42 dollars per thousand cubic feet. Texas Comptroller Bullock praised the boost to state revenues, while others call for full deregulation as long-term contracts and exploration incentives loom.
Gas price hike could lift Texas surplus by millions
Texas Comptroller Bob Bullock said federal Power Commission action raising interstate natural gas prices could add 66 million to the state surplus projected for August 31 1977 and potentially 165 million to revenues in the next biennium ending 1979. The prior surplus estimate was 827 million, reduced by 103 million due to education funding shortfalls.
