SUBJECT

• Cabinet Committee Report on Crude Oil Imports

In the course of a lunch at the home of the Canadian Ambassador, I had occasion to inform him generally of the nature of the Cabinet Committee report on crude oil imports.² He expressed great satisfaction with the way in which the formula would operate, and with the fact that no practical limitation on Canadian oil was being proposed.
