277. Editorial Note
On September 19, the President’s Advisory Committee on Energy Supplies and Resources Policy met to review the residual fuel oil imports situation. It concluded that imports were substantially in line with what was needed to satisfy demand not met by domestic supplies, but that importers should be continually asked whether they planned any precipitous increase in shipments.
