Oil industry participation in emergency planning, 1941-1967
This paper discusses the participation of oil company personnel in US government agencies and government-sponsored committees to plan and control oil industry activities in emergencies prior to the Arab oil embargo. The paper deals with World War II and the Korean War periods, the Middle East crises of 1951, 1956, and 1967, and an emergency preparedness organization that has never been activated. Two different organizational forms were used in the past. One is a government agency, with people from the oil industry and others with relevant expertise brought on board, subject to ultimate authority of an administrator responsible to the President. The other is an industry advisory committee or committees. The concluding section of this paper discusses the relevance of these past experiences and the two organizational forms to current problems.
