...study is A Time to Choose, a 511 -page book published last week by the Ford Foundation after two years of research. The other is Project Independence Blueprint, a 980-page document compiled for President Ford's guidance by a team of 750 analysts and experts directed by the Federal Energy Administration. They employed a gigantic computer model to calculate the effects on energy use of a bewildering variety of supply, price and policy changes. The Blueprint will not be released until next month, but TIME Correspondent Samuel R. Iker has learned many of its details, and they contain...
Mandatory Measures. In that case, imports would rise to 10.2 million bbl. a day-but only under the "base case" assumption that the Government did nothing special to encourage energy conservation or accelerate domestic production of fuels. The Blueprint offers a series of strategies for cutting imports. First, under an "accelerated supply" option, offshore drilling would be speeded on the Atlantic, Pacific and Alaskan shelves; environmental laws would be relaxed to permit the burning of more coal; and nuclear plants would be hustled into existence. The payoff: a drop in oil imports by 1985 to 5 million...
Kitchen No. 2 (Geoffrey and Eva's) is a blueprint of architectural chic, but its sanitary appointments compare unfavorably with those of the Black Hole of Calcutta.

She tries to jump out a window, impale herself on a knife, throttle herself with a rope, electrocute herself and take poison...
...preparing that blueprint, all week long the White House's economic team, headed by Treasury Secretary William Simon and Presidential Adviser L. William Seidman, sifted piles of option papers streaming in from a dozen departments and agencies. They also studied loose-leaf notebooks fat with suggestions that came out of the recent round of minisummits. All the way through, the President himself was deeply involved...
...blueprint that Ford is following is a 23-page report that was drawn up by four members of his transition team, all old and trusted friends: former Pennsylvania Governor William Scranton, NATO Ambassador Donald Rumsfeld, Interior Secretary Rogers Morton and White House Counsellor John O. Marsh Jr. The four were careful to sound out the views of the Cabinet and a wide circle of Ford's advisers and confidants, including Melvin Laird, the former Congressman and Secretary of Defense; Bryce Harlow, an aide to both Presidents Dwight Eisenhower and Nixon; and Michigan's Robert Griffin, G.O.P. whip...
