Oil Agency Challenges Navy Plan to Drill on Island
The Oil Producers Agency of California denounces the Navy proposal to drill for oil on San Nicolas Island off Long Beach as an unwarranted invasion of private rights and a wasteful use of taxpayer funds. The resolution argues it would set a precedent allowing federal agencies to compete with private industry and urges Congress to reject the plan. Copies were sent to President Eisenhower, officials, and legislators.
