- 4 - Oberstar <br /> <br />Dr. Moriarty: Concerned about water to convert energy from lignite <br />coa 1. We need fresh water for the protection of food. Mr. Ober- <br />star is disturbed very much about moving fresh water from one area <br />to another. <br /> <br />MiSs Lehn: Because Lake Superior is international, could this fact <br />be used to stop Reserve Mining from dumping i~nto the lake? Mr. <br />Oberstar said no to this. He also said they have one year to con- <br />trol the stacking machines from the plant. They are putting in a <br />$30,000,000 control program for pollution, and $242,000,000 for on <br />land disposal. It amounts to the cost of a whole new taconite <br />plant. Reserve Mining has 3,000 employees. The surrounding towns <br />depend on Reserve Nining for employment. If Grant Nerritt would <br />have settled down 5 years ago, this could have been taken care of <br />then. <br /> <br />Why can't we hold the lever of food over the Arabs for the oil <br />costs? <br /> <br />Mr. Oberstar: They can convert and adapt much more easily than we <br />can on the use of the oil. <br /> <br />How much excess oil profits are the oil companies making? <br /> <br />Are we going to see some honest reporting? <br /> <br />Mr. Oberstar: The Federal Trade Commission has smacked 6 oil <br />companies that overcharged utility companies to the tune of $600, <br />OOO,O00. Mr. Oberstar has legislation prepared for a government <br />agency that would handle all imports of oil to this country. <br /> <br />Lehn: Are we still giving foreign aid to the countries that are <br />holding us up on the oil imports? <br /> <br />Mr. Oberstar: thinks we have an economic mission to Iran. <br />Arabia has not received 2oreign aid from ~.'.us. <br /> <br />Saudia <br /> <br />Meeting closed at 10:00 p.m. <br /> <br />Respectfully submitted, <br />Clerk <br /> <br /> <br />
