Mr. FLOOD. The officials of those companies are probably writing me letters about not wasting money on an education bill or something

like that.

Mr. ANDREWS. Tell us about your wells on the reservation up near the land line. Are they producing at full capacity?

Captain LOVELL. Yes, sir.

These are not very good oil wells. They are only 30 or 40 barrels a day, that type of thing.

Mr. ANDREWS. How about the wells on the Government-owned land operated by private companies?

Captain LOVELL. They are also producers.

Mr. ANDREWS. Are they good producers?

Captain LOVELL. At about the same rate, sir.

Mr. ANDREWS. That is just a question under existing law as to who gets there first with the wells?

Captain LOVELL. Yes.

Mr. FLOOD. Federal property leasing to company A a hundred feet from your border, to sink a well, to take out whose oil-your grandmother's?

Captain YOUNGBLOOD. It would make no difference if that were private owned property.

Mr. FLOOD. Really, I have been practicing law for over a hundred

years.

Mr. ANDREWS. Does the Navy have an opinion as to what should be done about an offset law passed by Congress to protect the naval reservations? Have you discussed it in your shop?

Captain LOVELL. This is a problem that the naval petroleum reserves have been confronted with since they were established. In Naval Petroleum Reserve No. 1, the Standard Oil Co. owns approximately 18.5 percent of the land; in Naval Reserve Petroleum No. 2, about two-thirds of the land; and the remaining third is leased out to private operators by the Government and has been since 1921.

Mr. FLOOD. This is not the fault of the U.S. Navy or the DOD. This is the fault of the Congress of the United States and politicians of both parties since the Nation was born, who don't give a hoot. That is all this is.

Mr. ANDREWS. I agree with you.

Mr. FLOOD. This is conspiracy to a degree that the criminal codes could not match.

SALE OF OIL

Mr. ANDREWS. Tell me this: How do you sell that oil?

Captain LOVELL. It is sold under contract to the high bidder. The present purchaser is the

Captain YOUNGBLOOD. Western Crude Marketers of Denver.

Mr. ANDREWS. Are any of your neighbors buying any of it?
Captain LOVELL. No, sir.

Captain YOUNGBLOOD. They are producers, not refiners.

Captain LOVELL. Nor were they permitted to bid on the operating contract for developing the naval petroleum reserves. They were excluded from bidding. The contract operator on our reserve is the Intex Oil Co. of Bakersfield, Calif.

PRODUCTION OF OIL, RESERVE NO. 1

Mr. FORD. If the chairman will yield, we have just been looking at the Naval Petroleum Reserve No. 3 problem. You mentioned in passing 1 and 2, where there seems to be some degree of similarity. What are the facts on the others?

Captain LOVELL. A close similarity does not exist, as I might have indicated. In Naval Petroleum Reserve No. 1, the Navy owns ap
