US forms Middle East Emergency Committee for oil
The United States announces a 13-company Middle East Emergency Committee to pool terminal storage transport and refinery capacity for crude and products. It will exchange oil among firms and adjust production to meet US and Western Europe needs if Suez disruptions occur. Flemming says the move is approved by Dulles and shielded from antitrust liability. Seaton will direct the committee. Britain and Western Europe face rationing if Suez shipping is interrupted, but no US consumption cuts are planned.
