Senators Percy and Stevenson undecided on gas bill stance
Illinois senators Charles Percy and Adlai Stevenson III face a split in views on a major natural gas compromise bill. Reports suggest Percy leans toward support while Stevenson remains undecided amid large regulatory scope and potential price impacts, especially in northern states. The measure would extend price controls on new gas through 1985 before full deregulation, aiming to spur energy conservation but risking higher nationwide gas costs.
