ENERGY SPEECH - NOVEMBER 25, 1973 Three weeks ago, I spoke with you about the national energy crisis and our policy for meeting it. Tonight I want to talk with you again to report on our progress and to announce further steps we must take to carry out our energy policy. When I spoke to you earlier, I indicated that the sudden cutoff of oil from the Middle East had turned the serious energy shortages we expected this winter into a major crisis. That crisis is now being felt around the world, as other industrialized nations have also suffered from cutbacks in oil from the Middle East. Shortages in Europe, for instance, are faremore critical than those we face here at home. Already, 7 European nations have imposed a total ban on Sunday driving.
