White, A G

Congress has not been enthusiastic about natural gas deregulation, particularly those members from states whose voters are tied to natural-gas systems heavily for space-heating, i.e., the Mid-West and Northeast. A 1978 law gradually deregulates some of those prices, depending upon the depth at which the gas comes from and how old the discovery is (and thus came under regulation). The President has backed away somewhat from rapid decontrol of natural gas prices, especially in an election year. As the 1983 Congressional session ended, bills that would have made changes were left in committee. The implications for public administration are that natural gas deregulation presents a case study of the difficulties of making substantial administrative changes in politically-sensitive and recessionary times. 197 references.
