Editor’s ftote: The Old
Philosopher on his Johnson
Grass Farm takes another
look at the energy problem
this week.
Dear Editor:
One trouble with this
country’s attack on the
energy problem is we don’t
go far enough.
For example, two years
ago, recognizing the
problem, Washington
created the Department of
Energy with a budget of 11
billion dollars a year and a
staff of 20,000.
Now, two years and 22
billion dollars later, finding
the energy problem is even
worse, bills higher, gas
lines longer and people
bogged down in regula-
tions, Washingtion is pro-
posing another department
to oversee the Department
of Energy.
Its purpose as I under-
stand it is to expedite
things, cut red tape and get
straight to the job of
solving the energy
problem.
But even that falls short
to the mark. For instance,
anybody knows that to cut
tape you’ve got to have
scissors.
Therefore we need a
third department on top of
the other two departments
to see that scissor pro-
duction doesn’t fall short.
By tracing it back down,
you can see that a short-fall
of scissors would inescap-
ably cause a short-fall in
energy and we’d be right
back where we started.
This is vital to the whole
program, for who’s to say
the country can’t continue
to produce red tape faster
than it can scissors?

Oilmen Need Earnings
For Production Effort
By H B. (Hank) Harkins, President,
Texas Mid-Continent Oil & Gas Association
Federal controls on domestic crude oil prices began
in August of 1971. Since then, these controls have
continued under congressional authority and have re-
sulted in keeping the wellhead prices of most U.S. oil
below the world market level.
Example: In March, 1979, the Department of En-
ergy's composite price for U.S. crude was $9.83 per
barrel. The world market price then was $14.54. The
average price for oil from the Organization of Petroleum
Exporting Countries jumped to $20.00 following their
recent meeting in Geneva.
Under existing law, the gradual, two-year process of
phasing out these federal price controls has begun.
All controls on domestic oil prices are to be lifted by
Sept. 30, 1981.
With true decontrol, U.S. oil would be priced at
market value. Thus, oil and gas producers could begin
to recoup some of the $5-billion — authorized under
present law — which the federal government's pricing
policies have denied them. But, there is a downside:
President Carter has proposed a "windfall profits"
tax to accompany decontrol of U.S. oil. Taking his
lead, the House of Representatives has adopted an ex-
tremely complex tax proposal designed to take most
of the extra revenue which oil producers might realize
through decontrol. The House proposal contains no
provisions for exemption if the money is plowed back,
into exploration and production efforts.
These earnings represent capital that oil and gas
producers in Texas and throughout the nation need to
find and produce more domestic oil. Only in this way
can we make any headway against this nation's energy
shortfali. Every dollar taken from the oil industry for
the purpose of funding federal spending programs is
one less dollar available for investment in exploration
and production.
The^cftizens of this country need and deserve an
end to federal price controls on domestic oil, an action
which will help restore confidence and generate an
adequate level of investment. The distortions such
controls have produced have benefited no American
in the long tun. They have encouraged unbridled
consumption and waste. And, by continuing to reduce
production incentives, the Congress has invited the
exporting countries to continue with their price hikes
and production limits.
Decontrol of domestic oil prices is inevitable and
necessary. But, decontrol tied to a confiscatory excise
tax which would take most of these new revenues that
U.S. oil producers need to expand their operations is
not "true” decontrol.
