OPEC backs pricing in SDRs to lift oil costs
OPEC ministers meeting in Gabon agreed to quote oil prices using Special Drawing Rights rather than the dollar, signaling a price rise for crude. Iranian bank chief Mohammed Yeganeh said the switch would likely add about 30 cents per barrel, with U.S. gasoline up one to one and a half cents per gallon. The move comes amid inflation worries and a weakening dollar, while Yeganeh critiqued Ford's oil import tax and Kissinger's proposed producer consumer dialogue.

Tariff talk sparks energy price debate in Washington
Commerce Secretary Morton suggested Italy style price shifts may trigger a cutoff of the oil import fee, while Federal Energy Administrator Zarb quickly contradicted him. As lawmakers push an energy tax bill, Ullman argues a 23 cent per gallon gasoline tax plus future rises is the reply to Ford energy plans. The House blocks lifting price controls as it debates a Ways and Means proposal to raise the federal gasoline tax by three cents in January and potentially twenty more in 1977 based on consumption.
