Mew Legislative Bulletins g A-- Santa Barbara For - It WASHINGTON (UPI) would cost the government $1 billion or more to turn the oil fouled Santa Barbara Channel off California into a public marine sanctuary, according to unofficial Interior Depart- ment estimates. And that staggering cost would appear to make it impossible to turn the clock back even if time could heal the ravages caused by the oil leakage from an offshore well. The $1 billion or more actually 'would be only a part of the cost of halting all drilling. The sum represents only what the government would lose by paying the oil com-- i panics for canceling drilling leases granted by the Interior Departmeht, and in the loss of royalties on the oil. Department legal officials, reluctant to discuss the possibility in detail, note the oil in the drilling companies Santa Barbara Channel paid a of $603 million for bonus the privilege in addition to regular lease payments and an agreement to give the government $1 for every $6 received for oil pumped out of the ocean floor. Government lawyers say the leases are property rights and if the government now were to take them away it would have to pay the fair market value for them. The fair market value, they say, could reflect the $603 million bonus payments, possibly up to $200 million invested by the companies in development, loss of revenues from about two dozen productive wells already drilled, and interest on the companies investments. The government s losses would also include an undetermined amount in royalties expected to accrue in the future. In announcing approval of the leases, in 1967, former Interior Secretary Steward L.

The very fact Ulbricht had with conferred Brezhnev stirred some uneasiness in view of Communist threats to harass the lifelines to Berlin if the presidential election is held on schedule, shortly after the visit by Nixon. The latest propaganda blast added another dimension to East German and Soviet harassment and threats over use of West Berlin as the site of the West German presidential election March 5.
