were Reps. Tom Steed. John
Jarman, Page Belcher, Ed Ed-
mondson and Jed Johnson. Jr.
They wrote that less oil has
been found than has been pro-
duced in the past five-year per-
iod because of a sharp drop in
exploratory drilling. Drilling to
find new oil last year was 30
per cent below the level of 10
years ago and has dropped an-
other 8 per cent in 1965, they
said.
Insisting the trends are a
threat to national security, the
lawmakers said, “In view of the
vital role of petroleum in de-
fense preparedness, it seems
advisable to take every possible
step to assure a healthy domes-
tic petroleum industry.”
They urged six steps in chang-
ing the mandatory oil import
program.
1. Make “meaningful and spe-
cific improvements” to cut all
imports in districts one through
four by changing the 12.2 per
cent ratio to domestic produc-
tion that determines import lev-
els under the present import
program.
2. Encourage additional
movement of oil from surplus
producing areas of district one
through four into district 5, the
west coast area. One through
four is the area east of the
rocky mountains.
