Ford Delay Keeps Oil Price Controls In Limbo
Mansfield said he would report back to Ford on the outcome of the meeting and Nelsen said the President agreed to delay his veto of the six month extension. If Congress acts quickly to restore controls for 30 to 60 days, the period of decontrol would have little practical effect. Ford officials estimate removal would barely raise pump prices. Mansfield warns of inflation and unemployment. Energy page 12.

A U.S. District Judge rules that the Social Security Administration must issue written 30 day notices before any SSI reductions or terminations.
