The Compact was an outgrowth of the 1920s and
early 1930s when discovery of vast new oil fields
caused an exploitation panic among oil producers
that resulted in wasteful and inefficient drilling
and conservation practices. In addition, the glut
of oil threatened to undermine the stability of the
oil industry.

ing on the rest However, on June IT apparently
under the prodding of reform-minded Chairman
Wilbur D Mills D Arki, the Committee reversed
itself and tentatively adopted two, relatively-mild:
proposals to raise gas and oil industry taxes
One was a modified version of Mr. Kennedy's pro-
posalon gain from nil and gas asset sales. The
other was Mr Kennedy's proposal—without change
—relating to the grouping of oil and gas properties
for tax purposes
The tax-writing group did not. however, adopt
the proposed key change in the operation of the de-
pletion allowance. The two that it did approve
would pickup about $50 million annually in revenue
as opposed to the original $300 million
The industry still has a good chance to defeat
even the restricted tax provisions, particularly in
the Senate where the tax bill will go through the
Finance Committee and is expected to be managed
on the floor by Sen Russell B Long (D-La ), whose
state is the second largest producer of oil, behind
only Texas
Attempts on the floor to add amendments to in-
crease levies on oil companies are not expected tn
be any more successful than similar disastrous at
temps in the past, most recently in 1962 However,
strong White House and Treasury support for the
Ways and Means proposals might salvage them in
the final bill Obtaining anything stricter is consid-
ered a major task
The other major industry legislative goal—ex-
tension of the Interstate Compact—has evoked no
such controversy. There seem to be no opponents

CONGRESS
Oil And Gas Industries
Near Legislative Goals
.. ........By Congressional Quarterly........ ..
WASHINGTON—One of the nation’s most poli-
tically powerful industries—oil and gas—appears
certain to obtain its two key 1963 legislative goals.
But victory on the major issue, rejection of higher
taxes, may be less than total. The current prospects
for at least some new taxes on the industry are per-
haps 50-50
Defeat of President Kennedy’s tax reform pro-
posals. which would increase oil and gas company
taxes by some >300 million a year, is the industry s
central objective in 1963 in addition, it ha support-
ed less controversial legislation to extend the life
of the Interstate Compact to Conserve Oil and Gas
This Compact, which dates from 1935, is a purely
voluntary grouping of oil-producing states Current-
ly 30 states are members The Compact exhorts
them to enact oil production and conservation laws
to promote maximum conservation of the valuable
resource
There has been no opposition to extension of the
Compact beyond the current expiration date of
Sept 1. However, the issue is of more than pass-
ing interest because of a recent critical Justice De-
partment report on the Compact and oil production
controls in which the Department recommended ‘pos-
sible revision" of the control system. z
In its effort to kill the President’s tax proposals,
the industry has been largely successful.
Mr Kennedy, in his January omnibus tax reduc-
tion and reforms proposals, urged complex changes
that would increase the tax bill of oil and gas com-
panies. One key proposal, however, vastly over-
shadowed the others
Behind the key proposal was the famous 274 per-
cent oil depletion allowance, a provision in existing
law that ha* been variously denounced as the big-
gest loop-hole in the tax laws and defended as a per-
fectly reasonable encouragement to further oil ex-
ploration.
Uner this provision an oil producer is allowed
to deduct .from hi* taxable income an amount equal
to 27142 percent of his mineral income up to a speci-
fied limit Other minerals have smaller allowances
Oil s dates from the 1920*
‘The idea behind depletion allowances is that the
mineral resource is being depleted and funds must
be provided to find and develop new sources While
often accepting the basic premise, critics say the
oil allow ance is just too big It* reduction has been a
favorite target of tax reformers for years—never
with any success
President Kennedy did not attack the 2714 per-
cent allowance directly Rather, he proposed com-
plex changes in the way the allowance operate*
that would have the same revenue impact as if the
allowance were reduced to about 22 percent This
reform would have raised about two-thirds of the
total $300 million revenue gain from the oil tax re-
forms
in addition, he proposed reforms relating to: the
gain resulting from the sale of mineral assets, such
as an oil we’.l .the grouping of oil and gas properties
to obtain bigger tax breaks, and mineral operations
abroad
The industry’s first pomt of direct attack was in
the House Ways and Means Committee which has
been considering the tax proposals since they were
introduced in Congress and is now voting on indivi-
dual parts of the package
On June * the Committee rejected all of the tax
proposals by defeating some on a vote and not vol-
