Gleason, Jr, E J

Some features of the Strategic Petroleum Reserve Plan are: a 500 million barrel storage capacity is envisioned; two, possibly three, types of crude oil and no refined products would be stored; and the reserve would be a centralized facility located in salt domes on the Gulf Coast, primarily in Texas and Louisiana. No regional storage is envisioned. Major problems of the Plan are discussed. (LK)
