Decontrol of U.S. gas prices has made deep drilling worthwhile; there is a lot of gas 15,000 to 25,000 ft. below Louisiana, Oklahoma and probably New Mexico. Just last week, Tenneco struck gas in the previously discouraging Baltimore Canyon, 80 miles off the New Jersey shore.

Chase Manhattan Bank experts put 1985 imports at 2.2 trillion...
...small family farmer by granting 160-acre parcels of the West's vast quantity of public arid land, and making it fit for agriculture by bringing in federally subsidized water. According to the suit, larger landowners (including such agribusiness giants as Southern Pacific Co., Standard Oil and Tenneco Inc.) gradually cut themselves in for Government water, ignoring the requirement that they sell any land in excess of 160 acres in exchange...
