Voluntary Oil Import Plan Extended Through March 10
The government extends the voluntary oil import control through March 10 as Eisenhower weighs mandatory curbs. The plan would set a 1,025,000 barrel daily national quota, with 825,000 east of the Rockies and 200,000 for Washington Oregon California Arizona and Nevada, while residual fuel from Venezuela may be excluded. The move buys time for study of the Office of Civil and Defense Mobilization findings on national security impacts.
