There's Oil for the Asking in Them Thar Hills. (The New York Times, 6/8/1979)
We started exploration. What happened? Our first successful oil well was in Roberts County, Texas. We found natural gas in Dewey County, Oklahoma. We are currently drilling or participating in approximately 100 wells annually. We have been lucky, but we have proven that we can find energy domestically.
Best of all, we are now energy independent. We are consuming less than we are producing.
What is the message in all of this? The message is that there is oil in the United States and we have got to go out there and get it!
