Controversy Over Lake Erie Offshore Drilling Faces Resistance

Ohio scales back offshore drilling in Lake Erie amid opposition
Public opposition prompted the Ohio Department of Natural Resources to cancel the project. The Ohio General Assembly then imposed a two year moratorium until July 1 1972 and formed a ten member legislative committee to vet future drilling plans. Similar steps in New York and Pennsylvania followed, while Michigan rejected offshore drilling. The International Joint Commission could restrain Canadian offshore efforts, with little U.S. action. In Los Angeles Kyle Johnson joins the film Pretty Maids All In A Row directed by Roger Vadim, starring Rock Hudson Angie Dickinson and Telly Savalas.
