Such a move could create a painful dilemma for Carter. A U.S. veto would enrage much of the world, including the Saudis, on whom the Administration relies to temper...

It goes so far as to send the new employer of most technical people who leave Texaco a gratuitous letter demanding that the new boss not ask the employee to divulge any confidential information. One bright spot: Texaco has been the first to turn up signs of oil and gas in the Baltimore Canyon...
