Denby Testifies He Approved Oil Leases to Doheny's Firm
Denby testifies he approved the Elk Hills and Pearl Harbor oil leases with Doheny’s Pan-American company after Navy and Interior hints, saying he never saw Doheny before signing the 1922 contracts. He asserts Naval oil reserve drainage concerns spurred executive actions, with Fall aiding drafting of an order transferring reserves to Interior.
