Senate Finance chair Russell Long pressures President Ford to sign the cargo preference bill as the price for final passage of a crucial trade bill aimed at MFN treatment for the Soviet Union.

The debate continues on consumption cuts and fuel allocation amid uncertainties about achieving true self sufficiency.
