Emergency Motor-Fuel-Demand Rationing Act of 1980. Hearing before the Committee on Energy and Natural Resources, United States Senate, Ninety-Sixth Congress, Second Session on S. 2754
The present standby gasoline rationing plan, W. 1030, would take at least one year to implement. Noting that a rationing program ought to be quick in its response time, should be workable, should be fair, and should be as inexpensive as possible, Senator J. Bennett Johnston introduced the Emergency Motor Fuel Demand Rationing Act of 1980, to meet those criteria. The text of that bill, S. 2750, is presented. A hearing was conducted to amend section 203 of S. 2750 to provide the President with flexible authority to ration gasoline and diesel fuel. At the hearing, statements were heard from Alvin M. Alm, Harvard University; Hon. J. Bennett Johnston, US Senate; Douglas G. Robinson, DOE; Thomas Schelling, Harvard University; J. C. Welman, Jr., American Bankers Association; and Daniel Yergin, Harvard University.
