...complex case stems from regulations imposed by the Nixon Administration that allowed companies to charge more for certain oil produced after 1972 than for petroleum pumped from wells operating before that date. The Energy Department accused Exxon of reaping windfall profits by improperly charging the higher prices for the Texas...

As a former aide to Richard Nixon, though, he should have realized that he was doing Cuomo the same sort of favor that President Lyndon B. Johnson inadvertently did for Nixon.
