Navy Plans Taking Over Elk Hills Reserve Amid Court Ruling
Washington March 1 administrative steps were eyed by the navy department as it plans to seize over the Elk Hills oil reserve after a supreme court ruling returned control to the government. Rear Admiral H W Rousseau will oversee the reserve previously operated by a court receiver while disputes over Doheny Fall Sinclair concerns progress in the courts. The latest ruling upholds government policy to maintain navy fuel supply and directs Congress to handle compensation for storage tank development and related contracts.
