Crude Oil Imports Must Fall Under President’s Order
In a call with Capt. Carson of the Interior Department oil division, a 771,400 barrel daily limit is to be enforced. Congressman Vursell notes October imports at 676,000 barrels and November at 658,000, with December projected at 740,000. A 37 percent cut in Western States is expected to reduce daily imports by about 40,000 barrels, aiding Independent Oil Producers amid higher costs and milder winter demand.
