Carter Promises Oil Use Cut. Faces Congress Tug
President Carter returns from Bonn where he pledged to curb U S oil consumption and raise domestic oil prices to world levels by year end. He may win price alignment automatically as price controls expire in May 1979, but faces stiff fight in Congress over a crude tax or import quotas amid an election year and Prop 13 pressures. AP reports Gavshon noted Bonn leaders offered a cautious, modest plan and did not settle core economic issues.
