Ford veto halts tanker bill seen as consumer ripoff
President Ford rejected the Energy Security Transportation Act after opposition from Republican and some Democratic senators. The tanker bill would have required 30 percent of imported oil to be carried in U.S. flag tankers by 1977, seen as a payoff to shipbuilders and unions. Ford cited inflation risks and treaty concerns, delaying the measure amid Senate filibuster threats and White House trade negotiations.
