Nebraska Legislature backs oil quota resolution
The Nebraska Legislature endorses retaining present oil import quotas in a legislative resolution led by Sen. Robert Clark of Sidney with co sponsors from McCook Alliance Kearney Scottsbluff and other senators. The measure highlights Nebraska oil industry payrolls 4 million annual and 9 million in annual capital expenditure plus 22 million in supplies and equipment and 750000 in severance tax. It warns that increasing imports could curb drilling exploration and leasing and urges continued US import policy while sending copies to Washington and Nebraska’s congressional delegation.
