February 8, 1974 
[S. J. Res.185] 
Whereas the Interstate Commerce Commission, through its proposed 
order issued January 30, 1974, in Docket No. MC 43 (Sub-No. 2), 
seeks to alleviate a serious and pressing transportation probleni 
by requiring carriers to reimburse their owner-operators for all 
increases in the price of fuel over the base period May 15, 1973: 
and 
Whereas section 221(b) of the Interstate Commerce Act, 49 U.S.C. 
321(b) appears to preclude the Commission from making its final 
order in MC 43 (Sub-No. 2) effective in less than thirty days; and 
Whereas the inability to effectuate the final order in MC 43 (Sub-
No. 2) more promptly will cause substantial hardship to a sig-
nificant portion of the motor carrier industry and the shipping 
public; and 
Whereas there exists a national transportation crisis which presents 
a grave risk to the commerce and well-being of the Nation: Now. 
therefore, be it 
Resolved hy the Senate and House of Representatives 
of the United 
States of America in Congress assembled^ That the Commission shall 
issue a final order in MC 43 (Sub-No. 2) as soon as possible which 
shall become effective not later than February 15,1974.
