Cost of gasoline will increase
Ford seeks -end
to price controls

WASHINGTON (2)I-President
Ford announced plans yesterday
to phase out price controls on
domestic oil production over the
next 2 years. The White House
predicted the move would push
gasoline prices up another seven
cents a gallon by the end of
1977.
Ford called the proposal a
"compromise oil decontrol plan"
and said he would submit it to
Congress 'later in the week. The
proposal will go into effect five
days after it is formally sub-
mitted to Congress unless either
the House or Senate votes to re-
ject it.
SEN. HENRY Jackson ID-

Democratic presidential nomina-
tion and frequent opponent of
the administration's ene:gy pro-
posals, said he will seek Senate
disapproval of the Ford plan.

under the Petroleum Allocation;
Act to set price controls on oil
produced in the Unted States.
The price level is esasished
by the Federal Energy Ad ninis-
tration, subject to congressional
veto.

Under current FEA regula-
tions there is a 'two-tier' pric-
ing system for oil produced in
this country.
THE PRICE of about two-
thirds of the oil produced in the
United States is limited to '5.25
per barrel. The remainder can
be sold at existing world prices,
currently about $12.50 per bar-
rel. About 40 per cent if the oil
consumed in the United States
falls under the $5.25 limit.
Under Ford's proposal, the
two-tier system would ba elimi-
nated and price. ceilings oa do-
mestic oil would be phased up-
ward, reaching an estimated
$13.50 per barrel for all domes-
tic oil by the end of 1977.
Ford indicated that if his pro-
posal is rejected by C.ongess,
he might veto legislation to ex-
tend the Petroleum Allocation
Act beyond Aug. 31, which is
when the current law expires.
Unless Congress 'succeeded in
overriding such a veto, price
controls would be eliminated

law expires.
