...Israel after 1948 would receive compensation for land they were forced to abandon. So would Jews who quit their Arab homelands and settled in Israel. The size of the payments would be set by an international commission created for this purpose and be financed by a multinational consortium, which would include Israel and the Arab states...
...other European jets may eventually follow the Airbus into the American market. To ward off that long-term threat, Boeing, the giant of the U.S. industry, has sent ace international Salesman E.H. ("Tex") Boullioun to Britain. His mission: to explore possibilities for future collaboration with a British-led European consortium to develop a new generation of commercial jets for the 1980s...
When competition for building the pipeline first began in the late 1960s, leading Canadian and U.S. firms, among them Pacific Gas and Electric and Texas Eastern Corp., banded together in what seemed like an unbeatable consortium called the Arctic Gas Pipeline Project. The group, which at its height included 27 companies, proposed to construct a 48-in. line. It would begin at the Alaskan field of Prudhoe Bay (proven reserves of 26 trillion cu. ft., enough to supply current U.S. needs for more than a year) and follow the northern coastline to Canada's Mackenzie Bay deposits before heading...
...three special committees. The hearings were exhaustive, especially those conducted by Canadian Justice Thomas R. Berger, who was commissioned to examine the pipeline's ecological and social impact. After interviewing 300 environmental and economic experts and 1,000 natives in the region, Berger ruled last May that the consortium's line was unacceptable because it would endanger the habitat of many species of wildlife. Canada's Natural Energy Board backed Berger, thus killing the Arctic project...
...proposal will now go to Congress and the Canadian Parliament; both are expected to approve. The project will be privately financed; McMillian and his Canadian partners will own and operate the line under government supervision. Canadian environmentalists, who vigorously opposed the Arctic consortium's pipeline, are far less exercised about Alcan since it largely avoids uncontaminated areas. If all goes according to plan, the Alcan pipeline should be pumping 2.4 billion cu. ft. of gas a day to the U.S. by mid-1983. That is by no means enough to solve the U.S. shortage, but it would alleviate...
