U S Seeks Arab Oil Boycott End In Tripoli Meet
Diplomatic sources report GAPEC ministers meet in Tripoli to discuss the embargo future after a Cairo proposal collapsed. Saudi and Egyptian leaders aim to win back U S ties by pressuring Syria and Libya to end the boycott though Iraq maintains a strict stance and skips the talks. Reports also note a Nixon study on energy independence with large projected costs and potential subsidies for synthetic fuels, while energy chief Simon forecasts eventual price ceilings removal. Jackson pledges tighter oil producer controls amid price concerns and IRS refunds motorists for illegally high gasoline prices amid thousands of complaints since January.
