Crisp & Quick. Already programed for that morning was a 9:45 meeting of the National Security Council, which was scheduled to deal with civilian defense problems. Ike decided not to change the agenda but to cut the meeting short. At 10:30, during the meeting in the Cabinet room, an aide handed the President a note saying that Dulles had arrived and was waiting in the President's office.

The Texas Co. tried to get other companies to come in on a deal to drill in the Aneth section of southeastern Utah, where the lease was about to expire, found no takers, and finally went reluctantly ahead itself. Result: it bored smack into the Aneth pool with estimated reserves of 300 million bbls., the biggest find since the Williston Basin seven years...
