Senate approves tough energy bill risking Ford veto
The Senate backed a wide energy saving and emergency powers bill likely to provoke a veto from President Ford. The measure blocks lifting oil price controls without Congress and aims to restore domestic oil prices to the January 31 level while mandating a 4 percent energy saving goal and federal standards for state programs. Ford seeks voluntary energy saving and a gasoline rationing power, while House consideration remains uncertain.
