About 50,000 extra gallons were allocated to the gas station at Orlando's Disney World and 25,000 to nearby Sea World. Insisted Deputy Energy Director Jim Pollock: "We're certainly not trying to show any partiality, but these are major tourist attractions and we're letting them have this to keep motorists from getting stranded...

Radio stations across the country generally played uncensored interviews with the Congressmen who overheard Carter's statement.
