Kennedy Proclaims New Oil Import Restriction Plan
President Kennedy announced a policy tying oil imports to U S production rather than demand. The plan limits crude unfinished and finished oil exports east of the Rocky Mountains to 122 percent of domestic output, using the prior six months as a benchmark, with Overland imports now included. The Independent Petroleum Association hailed the move as a meaningful improvement, while officials predicted little impact on prices or the current import level.
