Independent oil operators warn of trouble over rising imports
Harold Decker of the Independent Petroleum Association of America urged Congress to amend the trade expansion bill to cap oil imports, excluding residual fuel, at 14 percent of domestic production. He claimed the industry has deteriorated since 1956 while the economy grew, predicting a 250000 barrel per day cut in 1956- era imports. Robert Force of Dallas argued current limits fail, noting imports rose since 1954 and that large international firms dominate about 90 percent of shipments.
