The committee met pursuant to call at 10:07 a.m., in room 1334, Longworth Office Building, the Honorable Leonor K. Sullivan (chairman of the committee), presiding. The CHAIRMAN. This morning, the Committee on Merchant Marine and Fisheries begins a set of comprehensive hearings addressing the need for, and the various problems connected with, the construction and operation of deep water offshore ports and terminals, for the reception of our increasing oil imports. The purpose of these hearings it to consider the prospective advantages flowing from the construction of such terminals, as well as the disadvantages that may be present in transferring cargoes in ocean areas subject to the stresses of wind, water, and weather. We have been hearing increasingly in recent years of problems facing our Nation in providing for an adequate energy supply. Various studies have been undertaken in the executive department, in the Congress, and in the private sector, seeking the most viable solutions for these problems. While the results of those studies differ in some respects, there is no disagreement among them as to the fact that in the next few years the energy demand in the United States will rise much more rapidly than the energy supply. Until new sources of energy not now available can be developed for future national use, it is obvious that we must continue to rely on the use of existing fossil fuels, the bulk of which is represented by oil. I do not at this time intend to discuss other fuels or other methods of supplying our energy needs. Neither do I intend to address myself to methods whereby we can successfully depress the rapidly rising demand curve. I would like merely to point out that whatever successes we may accomplish in those areas for the immediate years ahead, we must continue to rely on oil. The United States, which is still in the forefront of oil production, was once self-sufficient in its domestic oil supplies. That is no longer the case. In fact, the various studies indicate that within the next decade and a half, oil imports from foreign sources will be needed to supply approximately 35 percent of our energy needs, amounting to approximately 60 percent of the total oil consumed. Facing that problem, these hearings are designed to supply the committee with information concerning the prospective role that (1) |
