open letter from
Lone Star Gas
In 1962 President Kennedy sent an
histone message to Congress-the first of its kind devoted entirely to
consumer interests He pointed out that two-thirds of all spending m
our economy isjjy consumers that the problems consumers face
today are greater than they have ever been in history and are likely to
become more complex as time goes on In the intervening years
Presidents Johnson and Nixon restated this message and cited the
'our basic rights of the consumer The right to safety the right to
choose the right to be heard and the right to fce informed
tone Star Gas recently launched a new advertising program to
inform consumers about our company and our principal product-
natural gas We believe that only by knowing the facts can you fully
understand issues such as gas supply, rates (your cost of natural gas
service^ together with the rising costs of finding and delivering natural
gas to our more than one million customers
This m .targe part relates to the much publicized Energy Crisis a
-aDei ivhich suggests there are timely remedies available There are
Studies by experts show there are vast potential reserves of natural
gas-enough in the United States to last well into the 21 st century But
adequate financial incentives are needed before enough producers

Star has undertaken ultradeep wildcat drilling m Oklahoma s Anadarko
Basm Be assured that we and the natural gas industry will diligently
bu'Sje the search for those potentially vast energy reserves so neces-
saw *o sustain and improve the quality of life for everyone
T^e subject of rates is much abused because many consumers and
Public -epresentatives seem not to understand that cheap energy is a
tf ing of the past You may rkot have known that just a few years ago
me most expensive gas that Lone Star purchased cost less than >20
cents per thousand cubic feet By comparison we now have paid in
excess of 85 cents a thousand for major new supplies We pay the
price because we must tf you the consumer are to be served And
because the consumer must pay his share of the cost, we have asked
"at your gas bill be adjusted fairly Meanwhile we continually strive to
