;

At the request of the Senate Budget Committee, this paper analyzes the macroeconomic and budgetary effects of alternative natural gas wellhead pricing policies. The report discusses three approaches to wellhead price decontrol, including complete decontrol on January 1, 1984, advancing the partial decontrol found in the NGPA by one year to January 1, 1984, and administrative decontrol in which prices for some older categories of gas would be raised to the higher levels allowed for new gas on January 1, 1983. In keeping with the Congressional Budget Office's mandate to provide objective analysis, the report makes no recommendations. 19 footnotes and references, 21 tables, 2 appendices.
