Unfortunately, the Congress attached to this desirable provision unacceptable tax riders which would grant windfall benefits to individuals ...
Failure to do so will mean that the Congress will in the aggregate...add over one and a half billion dollars to the Federal deficit in 1975.
This legislation is significant in our fight against excessive use of petroleum.
If the Congress were to reenact this bill without the undesirable tax riders, I would be glad to approve it.
