Military Fuel Increase Set
The Federal Energy Office raised the military fuel allocation by 2 percent for three months. Pentagon spokesman Jerry Friedheim said the rise allows Air Guard and Reserve units grounded last month to fly again. South Vietnam will cover its needs from open markets, and the daily U S armed forces allocation reaches 637,000 barrels, up from 625,000, with 98,000 denied to rebuild reserves. Friedheim expects another request later this month. The military uses about 3.5 percent of U S petroleum consumption.
