It has no subpoena, suspension or rollback powers, but these could be added if the council proves ineffective. A surprising number of economists, ranging ideologically from Joseph Pechman, a former adviser to George McGovern, to Milton Friedman, onetime adviser to Barry Goldwater, predict that Ford eventually will feel compelled to revive full wage-price controls, though the President declared at his press conference that "wage-price controls are out, period...
