Washington The U.S. oil industry came under a blistering attack from President Carter Thursday Thur-sday as he tried to bolster public support for his beleaguered energy program. Carter, in a televised press conference, raised the possibility of "war profiteering" by the nation's oil companies, which have fought the energy, program in the Senate, and suggested that the coming energy crisis could produce "the greatest rip-off in history." Carter claimed the oil and gas industry were operating outside the free enterprise system and said, "...the oil companies apparently want it all. We are talking about enormous amounts of money. Never before in our history has this much money been involved in a decision controlled con-trolled by government policy and by legislation." Once again on Thursday, the President said energy is the most important domestic issue facing him and the country. Chamber ftaricii(j ivlvx730 urkciyutnli. MQoO Submitted By The Park City Chamber Of Commerce The following is a copy of the letter . sent to Governor , Scott Matheson. regarding . control of highway,'tourist advertising..again a very important : - element of tourism both for Park City and the state of Utah. Made Dear Governor Matheson : In March, 1977, you vetoed House Bill 111 on the premise that the state of Utah stood to lose significant federal funding if certain provisions of House Bill 111 were enacted enac-ted into law; However, at the time of that veto you pledged your support to the concept of tourist-oriented signs in . controlled areas to lessen the economic hardship of the freeway to the bypassed communities. : In the meantime, eleven states including Idaho, . Colorado Arizona, and Nevada have passed such legislation so that their tourist industry can take advantage ad-vantage of 23 U.S.C. 131 and' promote tourism in their states. The importance of the tourist dollar to Utah is undisputed. un-disputed. We cannot encourage en-courage a cleaner, more environmentally en-vironmentally sound and potentially Drofitable industry in-dustry than tourism. Park City is largely dependent upon tourism for its livelihood. With its proximity to the freeway and because of the diversified recreation offered here, it is Whether it's today's news or yesterday's fish, The Newspaper wraps it up. the ideal place for the destination tourist. Those tourists not stopping at the Echo Information Center might come to Park City if they see signs along the freeway. The opportunity for tourist oriented signs will, we feel, make Utah more of a destination state rather than a pass-through state as it is today. This cannot be done without your support. We, as the Park City Chamber of Commerce, urge you to introduce into the 1978 budget session of the Utah Legislature, a revised version of House Bill 111 less its controversial portions. In addition, we hope that you will impress upon the Utah Department of Transportation Transpor-tation and the Transportation Transpor-tation Commission the importance im-portance of their adoption of the rules and regulations governing tourist oriented signs as proposed by the tourist industry and not those rules and regulations promulgated by the Department Depar-tment of Transportation. We appreciate your time and effort in supporting tourism in Utah. Very truly yours. Richard A. Wilde, President Amanda C. Peterson, Director j! At the Golf Course aj .i . - . - . . .
