These hearings on Mobil Oil's proposal to buy Marathon explored industry competition and antitrust implications. The committee confined its investigation to public-policy concerns and avoided pressure on the Federal Trade Commission. The principal witnesses were Charles H. Barre of Marathon, Jack A. Blum of the Independent Gasoline Marketers Council, Attorney General William J. Brown of Ohio, and William F. Baxter of the Justice Department's Antitrust Division. Their testimony is followed by additional articles, letters, and statements submitted for the record. (DCK)
