MOST RURAL FIRETRUCKS MEED A SUPPLEMENTAL SOURCE Of WATER
ANCHORAGE. Alaska -
Atlantic Richfield Company
has announced the success-
ful completion of an in-
formation well in the Bering
Sea 110 miles north of Un-
alaska Island. It is the first
well to be drilled offshore in
the Bering Sea.
The stratigraphic test
well was drilled by Atlantic
Richfield for itself and 19
other companies to obtain
information on rock type and
quality in the St, George
Basin, which is being con-
sidered for leasing by the
Federal Government.
The test was drilled as a
deliberate dry hole in a
location which would pro-
vide needed information re-
lating to the age and thick-
ness of various rock forma-
tions and their potential for
generating and retaining oil
or gas.
Howard A. Slack, vice
president and resident
Alaska manager of Atlantic
Richfield, said, “we are very
pleased with the success of
the test. The information
obtained will enable in-
dustry and the Federal Gov-
ernment to better evaluate
the oil and gas potential of
the vast Bering Sea area.”
Other participants in the
stratisgraphic test were
Amerada Hess Corporation,
Amoco Production Com-
pany, BP, Cities Service
Company, Continental Oil
Company. Exxon Company-
USA, Getty Oil Company,
Gulf Energy Minerals, Mar-
athon Oil Company and
Mobil Oil Corporation.
Also, Pennzoil Company.
Phillips Petroleum Com-
pany, Shell Oil Company,
Skelly Oil Company, Stan-
dard Oil Company of Cali-
fornia, Sun Company. Inc.,
Tenneco, Texaco, Inc., and
Union Oil Company of Cal-
ifornia. Slack said that other
companies wanting the in
formation may still join the
group on payment of a late
participation charge.
The well was drilled by
the Ocean Ranger, the
world's largest semi sub
mersible drilling vessel, de-
signed specifically to ope-
rate in severe weather con-
ditions common to the Be-
ring Sea. Slack noted that
the Ocean Ranger en -
countered no weather-re-
lated problems during the
drilling operation. The ves-
sel is owned by Odeco of
New Orleans.
Drilling started July 2 in
440 feet of water. The site is
117 statute miles north-
northwest of Dutch Harbor
and 170 statute miles souih-'
east of the Pribilof Islands.

Cattlemen's Association
Praises Meat Import Act
Austin — In a recent
county fhainnen’s meeting
at the Independent Cattle-
man’s Association, an or-
ganisation of 100,000 mem-
bers, T.A. Cunningham,
President, expressed his
gratification of President
Ford’s actions taken in en
acting the quotas on im-
ported meats provided for in
the 1964 Meat Importation
Act. Cunningham stated
“Beef imports are entering
this country at an alarming
rata aa we have received a
allowed into this country,
the excess will further the
depression the beef pro-
ducers are already facing to-
day.”
The Meat Import Act of
1964 allows the President to
prohibit the importation of
meat imports, after they
have reached an annually
computed limitation. The
quotas are based on the pro-
duction of beef over the pre-
vious five-year period.
President Cunningham
further expressed concern
over the present condition of
the livestock industry by
stating, “If beef imports are
not soon curtailed, the beef
producers of this country
will Bto out of business and
every consumer in America
will be at the mercy of
foreign countries dictating
higher and higher prices for
and lower quality
beef.”
The Independent Cattle-
men’s Association has ac-
tively supported proposed
legislation that would sig-
nificantly reduce the
amounts of imported beef
allowed to enter this coun-
try. The ICA has also been
instrumental in actions be-
ing taken to eliminate the
circumvention of meat im-
port quotas at the Free
Trade Zone in Mayaquez,
Puerto Rico.
