Natural gas policy issues and options. A staff analysis prepared at the request of Henry M. Jackson pursuant to S. Res. 45, a national fuels and energy policy study. [Description of natural gas industry, present system of regulation, and factors contributing to natural gas shortage]
From the outset of the Senate's National Fuels and Energy Policy Study, there has been general agreement that the existing system of regulating natural gas prices leaves much to be desired. The Interior Committee's studies and hearings have made clear that new approaches to natural gas pricing are an essential element of national energy policy. This analysis of natural gas policy issues is an attempt by the staff of the National Fuels and Energy Policy Study to describe the natural gas industry, the present system of regulation and the factors contributing to the natural gas shortage. The analysis undertakes also to delineate the major options available to Congress with respect to controls over natural gas prices. (Sen. H. M. Jackson, from Memorandum of the Chairman)
