Senate approves broad mandatory fuel allocation bill
Senate passed and sent to the White House a bill requiring the President to impose across the board mandatory allocation of all fuel products within 30 days of enactment. The final vote was 83 to 3 as the House earlier approved it overwhelmingly. The measure directs priority for essential services and covers propane heating oil jet fuel diesel and other distillates widely but not gas. Supporters say it merely shares shortages as fairly as possible and does not solve the energy crisis.
