...doubts about the council's effectiveness remain. Last week, for example, it deftly sidestepped a host of complaints registered by the Mobil Oil Corp. against a March 20 ABC television News Closeup special on "Oil: The Policy Crisis." The ABC program indicted Government oil policies, blaming them and the major oil companies for leading the nation into last winter's energy crisis. Offended by ABC's interpretation, Mobil listed 32 "particularly inaccurate or unfair" statements in the broadcast.

He has been on the board of directors of six corporations and banks, the executive committee of the conservative National Alliance of Businessmen and the American Petroleum Institute. He has been chairman of the advisory committees of the U.S. Department of Commerce and of the Federal Reserve Board of New York. He is a trustee of Rockefeller University and the American Museum of Natural History, and a member of the prestigious Council on Foreign Relations. And since 1965, he has been a Fellow...
