Speaker. the time has come to abolish the oil import control program. I am one of 54 cosponsors of legislation. H.R. 10799. which would eliminate the oil quota system. I hope that President Nixons Cabinet task force on oil import control will come forth with a strong recommendation to end this inequitable mandatory oil import quotas program. I have written to President Nixon expressing my opposition to a continuation of the quota system and its adverse effects on New England. I include with my remarks at this point in the RECORD the reply I received from the White House on August 27. a letter I received today from Mr. Dermot P. Shea. executive secretary of the Consumers Council of Massachusetts. and the accompanying statement on the heating oil shortage facing Massachusetts this winter. and editorials concerning the oil quota system fuel cost savings from the Boston Globe of August 18 and the Springfield Union of September 25:
