David R. Henderson is a research fellow with the Hoover Institution and an associate professor of economics at the Naval Postgraduate School in Monterey, California.

In this video from a 1991 conference in Monterey, Henderson speaks about the then-ongoing Gulf War, which George H. W. Bush once described as a "war for oil." Henderson asks whether America would ever conceivably need to go to war to secure oil supplies from the influence of rogue states and also speaks briefly on the effects of CAFE and other mileage standards on automobile manufacturers and U.S. drivers.
