Alaskan Oil Issue Lingers
Although the Clinton Adminis- tration reportedly favors lifting the ban on the export of North Slope
Alaskan oil, no decision has been made. The ban is contained in the
U.S. Export Administration Act, which was extended on August 19 by
Executive Order of the President under the International Emergency
Economic Powers Act, pending Con- gressional action.
The amendment to lift the ban includes a provision which would limit the carriage of the oil on U.S.- owned ships operated by U. S. crews.
There is no U.S.-build or U.S.-re- pair requirement. Earlier, the amendment would have required the oil to be transported on vessels which qualify for the U.S. domestic, coastwise (Jones Act) trade. How- ever, international objections tc such an expansion of the Jones Act, coupled with the possibility that the
Jones Act itself could be endangered, reportedly prompted the amend- ment to be revised.
