...Project Independence on President Ford's desk by Nov. 1, and to introduce a preliminary report by Sept. 30. Actually, the blueprint will not be an action program, but rather a listing of options for debate within Government and eventual White House decision.

Among many other agencies, FEA will swallow the Cost of Living Council's energy division, which controls prices for gasoline, heating oil and other petroleum products. That should end the type of bureaucratic delay that recently held up for three months an urgently needed mandatory allocation plan for fuels-a plan that, significantly...
