I just stumbled across it, too? Thought it might be useful for the G&G membership to consider. Heres the link to the story, in the event you missed it in the primary post...

. . . Americans knew about President Nixon's proposal to have the government purchase all oil and natural gas brought into America
thereby being a "one purchaser" to set our buy price for the OPEC cartel.

It would be resold (on paper) to major refiners with a set profit markup to keep oil and its products affordable for American citizens.

It went nowhere against a Demorcratic controlled House and
Senate.

True, but Nixon wasn't very well liked, or trusted, by not just the House and Senate.
