President Ford signed legislation to allow commercial use of the Elk Hills Naval Petroleum Reserve in California. The measure also enables limited output from Buena Vista and Teapot Dome and transfers another Navy oil field in Alaska to the Interior Department. Ford cited 18 similar energy proposals awaiting action as he aims for energy self sufficiency by 1985. He predicted Elk Hills could deliver about 300000 barrels daily within three years, about 4 percent of U S imports, as part of reversing declining domestic production.
