Oil drilling to resume in Santa Barbara Channel
A federal judge cleared four oil companies Gulf, Mobile, Texaco and Union of California to resume drilling in the Santa Barbara Channel. The decision finds Secretary Morton lacked authority to suspend 35 of 71 leases, despite county opposition and coastal concerns after the 1969 blowout.
