 STATEMENT IN SUPPORT OF LIFTING THE EXPORT BAN ON ALASKAN NORTH SLOPE 
                                  OIL

                                 ______


                         HON. CALVIN M. DOOLEY

                             of california

                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, July 19, 1994

  Mr. DOOLEY. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to express my strong support 
for lifting the export ban on Alaskan North Slope oil. I would like to 
insert into the Congressional Record a letter from the California 
Independent Petroleum Association to President Clinton outlining their 
support for lifting the ban.
  The Department of Energy recently came out with a study that 
concluded the lifting of the ban would have a tremendous economic 
impact to not only my home State of California but to the entire west 
coast. Lifting the ban would create between 10,000-25,000 jobs by the 
end of the decade. This would improve circumstances for west coast oil 
producers and would raise revenue dramatically for the Federal 
Government and tax and royalty revenues for the States of California 
and Alaska. It would also spur new production in new and existing 
wells.

                                            California Independent


                                        Petroleum Association,

                                    Sacramento, CA, June 10, 1994.
     The President,
     The White House,
     Washington, DC.
       Dear Mr. President: We are grateful to you for undertaking 
     a review of the current export restrictions on crude oil 
     produced on the Alaskan North Slope (ANS). As domestic crude 
     oil producers, we strongly support elimination of the ANS 
     export ban which, in our view, has contributed to the decline 
     of U.S. oil production, especially in California.
       We firmly believe that eliminating the ANS export ban will 
     create American jobs, expand U.S. crude oil production, and 
     enhance U.S. energy and national security. Just recently, a 
     number of maritime unions have come out in favor of dropping 
     the ban. We endorse the proposal to require any ANS oil 
     exports be carried on U.S. built, U.S. owned and U.S. crewed 
     vessels, an action that will preserve and expand jobs in the 
     U.S. maritime sector. Equally important, eliminating this 
     export ban will not have adverse impacts on U.S. consumers, 
     and will help preserve two vital industries, the maritime 
     industry and the oil and gas producing industry, with no cost 
     to the federal treasury.
       Circumstances have changed greatly since the ban was put 
     into law in 1973. The domestic industry has been devastated 
     by low world oil prices. Crude oil production in the United 
     States is declining, and will continue to do so, unless 
     policy changes are made. By eliminating the ban on ANS 
     exports, your Administration can take an important step in 
     preserving two vital domestic industries.
       Thank you for your consideration.
