Nixon eyes pollution hit area offshore oil plan
President Nixon proposed halting oil prospecting in much of California’s Santa Barbara channel to curb pollution while allowing drilling in three areas to extract undersea oil. He sought cancelation of 20 federal offshore leases with compensation from Elk Hills revenues, arguing continued drilling in three leases is needed to prevent massive spills.
