Supreme Court hears Atlantic oil rights case
The Ford administration seeks a quick ruling on federal ownership of offshore areas as the Supreme Court considers a 1969 suit. The case blocks leasing 3.5 million acres of the Middle Atlantic to oil firms, delaying Interior Department plans and prompting withdrawals of lease invitations. The 1953 Submerged Lands Act limits states to three miles, while federal law supports leases beyond that line.
