Nixon Orders Oil Import Allocations Increased
President Nixon issued an interim 1973 oil import allocation totaling 2.23 million barrels daily for crude oil finished products and No 2 heating fuel. The order maintains 1.78 million barrels daily into Districts 1–4 and 50 thousand into District 5, with Virgin Islands shipments potentially rising to 30–45 thousand barrels daily to address shortages. The measures precede a final 1973 program due in January and reflect growing U.S. energy demand.
