Jackson presses plan to build trans Alaska oil line
Senator Henry Jackson urged federal action to build and operate the trans Alaska pipeline if private delays persist. He warned against further holdups amid fuel shortages, and noted environmental and antitrust court battles. Canada warned a Mackenzie route could not match speed of the Alaska line, complicating Midwestern fuel delivery.

Tough tanker controls push for Alaskan oil pipeline aid
The Senate moved to speed tough new controls on tankers to Alaska and require application of a 1972 double-hottom tanker law by June 30, 1974. Sen. Ted Stevens offered an export ban on Alaskan oil unless the President finds it in national interest, countering charges of selling oil to Japan. Magnuson was away in China.
