Tom Distad is congressman Gunn MKay (D-Utah) is spearheading a major effort on Capitol Hill to get the nation's synthetic fuel development out of the discussion phase and into production. McKay said, "We've been talking about it long enough, and we cannot afford to delay moving forward for-ward any longer." The first legislative move was achievetfMg weefcwhen'the Hife impropriations Committee on Interior adoD- ; ted the McKay initiative in- ito the Interior funding bill. A coalition is forming to support the McKay I initiatives and specific plan I to f spur synthetic fuel production. It includes House Leadership and members of the Congressional Steel Caucus, the. Congressional Rural Caucus; and the United Democrats of Congress, which McKay chairs. I McKay is on the executive boards of the caucuses. The Utah lawmaker said other members are lending support sup-port as well as outside organizations. McKay said the impetus of his new energy initiative was a discussion he had at a meeting with President earlier ear-lier at Camp David recently. I The' Utah Congressman said Mr. Carter later endorsed his approach. "I am taking these measures because the irresponsibility of OPEC must be controlled before it destroys the U.S. economy in its greedy grasp for quick wealth," McKay said. Expressing Ex-pressing anger at what he escribed as "excessive rice-gouging" by the -Organization of Petroleum .Exporting Countries OPEC), McKay said there . s only one way to bring lasting control.

"We're sitting on vast resources in Utah and other western states that, when developed, could be the means to bring OPEC's worldwide blackmail to a quick end," McKay continued. con-tinued. "But we can afford to !;wait no longer for the production and technology to start working for us. We've got to realize oil from shale, tar sands and coal now. "Let us profit from history in reaching a solution to the problem. That track, it seems to me, takes us to the old Defense Production Act of 1950. In mid-1942, cut off by the Japanese from natural rubber, rub-ber, we made a commitment commit-ment to develop a synthetic industry. By September 1943, we had 19 synthetic rubber plants and 32 plants producing feedstocks for rubber in operation. America was able to produce 833,000 tons of synthetic syn-thetic rubber a year, enough to keep our war machine and economy rolling. "We built that industry by authorizing private companies com-panies to build plants and then operate them on a cost-plus-fixed-fee basis. Those plants cost the government $714 million, and when we sold them after World War II we got back 97 cents on every dollar. "If we pursue a similar course in developing our synthetic fuels, we can expect ex-pect similar results. I propose that we seek out companies most we've already identified that II 1240 PARK AVENUE PARK CITY, UTAH 84060 PHONE 801-649-9123 J ' shes Synthetic evelopment have the technology. Then we guarantee the government govern-ment will buy, for its own needs, enough of the output from new plants to assure the return of the investments invest-ments those companies would have to make. For example, we might say to the industry: in-dustry: You build your plants, and we'll buy 500,000 barrels a day of oil from oil shale, from tar sands, coal liquification and gasification ! and biomass. We'll guarantee guaran-tee your up-front costs." McKay said his approach uses major provisions of the so-called "Moorhead Bill" recently reported without fanfare by the Committe on Banking, Finance and Urban Ur-ban Affairs. The Moorhead Bill directs the President to attempt to achieve a national production goal of at least 500,000 barrels per day of synthetic fuels and synthietic chemical feedstock feed-stock not later than five years after the authorization is passed and is signed into law. In addition to the Moorhead provisions, the McKay initiative goes the next step toward reaching the production produc-tion goal. It gives specific contract authority, sets Dry It, You'll Like It The Utah Energy Office is taking a step back in history by encouraging the use of solar power to solve the problems of food storage and energy costs. The Energy Office is offering of-fering a free booklet, "Dry It, You'll Like It," with simple, sim-ple, do-it-yourself plans for three inexpensive solar food 'Coffee House' Sunday Bov'. specific dates that contracts must be effected, and provide flexibility in making payments for the synthetic fuels output. "Oil people, water people, truckers, bankers, chambers of commerce, com-merce, and others all have a vital stake in this. If OPEC is allowed to double oil prices in a single year, we will never control inflation, control our balance of payments," and remove other threats to our economy. We're now in a state of war (with the problems of energy development). We have to become self-sufficient in order or-der to survive. McKay said his initiative will also be made a part of other appropriations bills. The Utah Congressman said it will take a minimum, from three to five years to realize production at significant levels. "When we do have a plant developed and we know the exact cost of production parameters, we will be able to cap the constant threat of OPEC. Until we do we will continue con-tinue to be vulnerable politically and economically," McKay said. dehydrators. People have been drying food for storage for centuriesbut cen-turiesbut only recently with electricity. The heat of the sun did the job for thousands of years before the advent of electric drying units. With today's energy problems, solar power is becoming more and more attractive at-tractive again.
