- Description:
- Frank T. Bow, a member of the United States Congress, is concerned about a proposed federal ban on the use and distribution of natural gas by the Petroleum Administration for Defense. He believes that state regulatory bodies should continue to handle the distribution and restriction of gas usage, rather than the federal government. Bow argues that the ban would have negative economic consequences and questions the necessity of such drastic action. He urges his colleagues to support an amendment that would allow states to regulate gas usage within their jurisdiction.
