The panel discussion was held to discuss regional and national interests on U.S. energy problems. All states have different views and Edward Brooke from Massachusetts spoke about that region's refusal to take environmental risks in developing its energy sources, particularly for failing to develop offshore drilling and refining capacity. Then Stewart Udall was asked to comment on the Mandatory Oil Import Program; which pitted the consumer states against producer states; it put a lid on oil imports into the U.S. He concluded that the U.S. must not have regional feelings. The great strength of the U.S. results from its use of resources in a rational way to benefit the whole country. David Boren, governor from Oklahoma, was asked to comment on the production problems of oil; he cited increased drilling and recovery costs at the greater depths as a primary problem. Frank Zarb, FEA administrator, commented on the question of equalizing the price of gas and oil. Other areas discussed by the panel members and industrial officials in the audience included: distrust of the oil industry; energy supplies; decontrol; conservation; allocations; energy economics; and unemployment. The panel members agreed that the energy crisis is real, but that the persons in the policy-making positions have not made that fact clear to their constituents. There was general agreement that the price of oil and natural gas should be deregulated. (MCW)
