Oct. 6, 1973: Egypt and Syria attack Israel in the Yom Kippur War.
Oct. 17: OPEC announces an oil embargo against the United States
Oct. 20: Nixon fires Cox, Richardson (resigns rather than carry out order), and Ruckelshaus in “Saturday Night Massacre.”
So, obviously a very eventful month. And what I’m basically asking is, Congress doesn’t get so distracted by Watergate, but also pursues energy policy in a very serious and highly competent manner.
Please take this timeline on a test drive! Thanks.
