Bill for superport approved by Senate
A deepwater port for oil tankers off Freeport’s coast advances to Governor Clements after Senate approval 31–0. The Texas Deepwater Port Authority would issue bonds from 2.4 million dollars, to be financed by oil-company revenue once federal license and political approval are secured. The project, in Gulf of Mexico 26 miles south of Freeport, aims to use buoys and pipelines to move crude to shore storage.
