| 93-sjres-174 | 93 | sjres | 174 | A joint resolution to direct the Interstate Commerce Commission to provide an equitable formula for the distribution of grain cars. | Transportation and Public Works | 1973-11-19 | 1973-11-19 | Referred to Senate Committee on Commerce. | Senate | Sen. Abourezk, James [D-SD] | SD | D | A000017 | 10 | Directs the Interstate Commerce Commission to make an investigation of grain car distribution practices by railroads subject to the Interstate Commerce Act in order to determine to what extent and in what manner existing practices may be unjust, unreasonable, discriminatory or unduly preferential and to make in accordance with the law such changes and adjustments of rules as may be necessary to correct any defects found to exist. States that the ICC shall give due consideration to the desirability, as a means of removing undue prejudice or unjust discrimination, of requiring carriers to provide specifically in their tariffs the terms under which, during any period of time when the supply of cars available for grain gathering does not equal the requirements, all shippers may demand and secure upon even terms the use of cars employed upon the lines of any railroad. | 2025-01-14T18:51:33Z |
