It has been America's line of defense, | 0:02 | |
a supplier of food and the highway to the rest of the world. | 0:04 | |
Today, it is our biggest hope for new oil supplies. | 0:08 | |
According to one estimate, | 0:11 | |
there is more oil undiscovered off our shores, | 0:12 | |
than we've used in America in the past 100 years, | 0:15 | |
lots of natural gas too, possibly twice as much | 0:18 | |
as we've ever used. | 0:21 | |
In all off-shore drilling, | 0:22 | |
we must be vitally concerned about the ecology of the sea. | 0:24 | |
Fortunately, there are sophisticated methods today | 0:27 | |
that enable us to protect the sea's environment | 0:30 | |
better than ever before. | 0:32 | |
With our increased needs for a secure domestic supply | 0:34 | |
of oil, it's not surprising | 0:37 | |
that a recent national survey reported | 0:38 | |
that three out of four Americans favor off-shore drilling. | 0:40 | |
The US government has announced its intention | 0:44 | |
to offer additional off-shore acreage for leasing in 1975. | 0:46 | |
Texaco firmly supports this stepped-up leasing program. | 0:51 | |
The longer we wait, the longer we'll be dependent | 0:54 | |
on foreign oil. | 0:57 |
