Senators oppose bill to deregulate gas at wellhead
U S Sen Lloyd Bentsen and Rep Bob Krueger denounce Senate Bill 3422 to deregulate natural gas prices at the wellhead as deceptive and insufficient. Krueger argues the measure shifts price setting to Congress, not solving core supply issues. Langdon of the Texas Railroad Commission criticizes federal meddling, warning of red tape and reduced energy development.
