President proposes 5 percent energy use cut and new Energy Office
President Nixon urges a 5 per cent reduction in personal energy consumption with a 7 per cent cut in overall usage. He backs a major government reorganization creating an Energy Research and Development Administration and a White House Energy Policy Office led by Gov. John A. Love. He also considers mandatory fuel allotments and a five year, 10 billion dollar federal energy program, while asking for highway speed reductions and thermostat cuts to conserve fuel. Major oil firms Texaco Gulf Shell announce July increases in gasoline allotments to service stations nationwide, with Texaco and Exxon outlining stepped gains in July and August.
