Proposed legislation would dismember this country's oil companies in either of two ways. Some proposals would divide the large integrated companies into separate, single-function units. Other proposals would prevent the oil companies--our nation's most experienced energy producers--from participating in the development of other energy resources. Hearings on these bills by both Houses of Congress have brought vigorous dissent from the executives of the petroleum companies. Their testimony has been brought together in this volume. Fourteen testimonies included on vertical divestiture are: A View From the Independents, Richard J. Boushka; A View From a Large Oil Company, W.T. Slick, Jr.; A Common Form of Industrial Organization, Annon M. Card; An Economist's Analysis, Michael E. Canes; The Standard Oil Breakup of 1911 and Its Relevance Today, Hastings Wyman, Jr.; Vertical Divestiture: Exploration and Production, L.C. Soileau III; Vertical Divestiture: Refining, Walter R. Peirson; Competition in Refining, Donald C. O'Hara; Vertical Divestiture: Pipelines, Charles J. Waidelich; Pipelines, Divestiture, and Independents, Fred F. Steingraber; The Southern Caucus Testifies, J.W. Adams III, C.R. Jackson, Pat Green and J.R. Johnson; A View From a Small Independent Distributor, Robert J. Welsh, Jr.; International Relations and Divestiture, William P. Tavoulareas; and Divestiture and OPEC, a Response to Anthony Sampson, Standard Oil Company of California. Five testimonies on horizontal divestiture are presented, namely: Developing Alternate Sources of Energy, W.T. Slick, Jr.; Who Should Develop Coal: Everybody, C. Howard Hardesty, Jr.; Suggestions for Doubling Our Coal Production, DeWitt W. Buchanan; The Know-How to Develop Oil Shale, John E. Kasch; and Drilling Expertise and Geothermal Energy, Carel Otte.
