# WHY A $20 BILLION ATHABASCA OIL SANDS PROJECT

## 1. Why a big project now?

A. $20 billion project should be easier and more credible than a $1 billion project (sheer size focus decision makers and general public to pay attention and to accept need for red tape "short cuts.")

B. Project should make a useful impact on current supply situation by mid or late 1970's

C. Size itself furnishes credibility and attention (this is amplified by joint sponsorship of financing)

## 2. Why Athabasca Oil Sands?

A. High quality short-term reserves (10-30 billion barrels) and lower quality medium-term reserves (100-400 billion barrels) both large enough to justify:

1. Changing attitude of Arab nations toward medium- and long-term prospects for price of oil

2. Personal attention and intervention by highest authorities

B. Relatively few operation uncertainties

1. Low risk adequate technology available (developed and proved by Goos; reviewed and improved by Syncrude)

2. Low level of technological/cost uncertainty and large potential production are essential to put a completely credible ceiling on world price for oil

3. If oil is $4 (1972 prices) a barrel and no royalty is paid, these sands can probably be developed on a break-even basis

C. Environmental, technological, political, labor and other problems seem to be acceptable (at least with intelligent programs.) This not time, at the moment for U.S. oil shale and coal

D. Operation lends itself to war time urgency type priority and attention

TEN ITEMS FOR A PRE-OCTOBER 1973
(BUT STILL RELEVANT) U.S. ENERGY CRISIS PROGRAM

A list of relatively extreme but useful programs for dealing with the
energy crisis.

1. Raise the price of natural gas in the United States to about $1.00 per 1,000 cubic ft. and encourage the world price of oil to go to somewhere between $5 and $8 per barrel as soon as possible.

2. Create and disclose credible policies for dealing with short run emergency--mostly by reducing consumption but including provisions for increased supply (perhaps including 3 and 4, below). Also make clear (perhaps by items 4, 7, and possibly 8 below) that long term price of oil should be about $6 a barrel.

3. Immediate creation of 100 to 200 million barrels of additional storage for oil, and one or two trillion cubic feet of storage for gas, both in or near consuming areas, if possible. Fill this storage with oil produced from U.S. naval reserves and continue to expand storage to 500 million barrels or so.

4. Crash program to increase production of coal by 50 to 100 million tons a year in 1974, and perhaps a larger amount in 1975. This program might be coordinated with a program to renegotiate old gas contracts in such a way so as to reduce the consumption of gas from, say, 23 trillion cubic feet a year to substantially less (the coal replacing the gas at a rate of, roughly, one ton per 20,000 cubic feet, or, equally roughly, 50 million tons of coal for one trillion cubic feet of gas). This replacement would make gas much more available for high priority uses or for storage as suggested in 2 above. Some of the coal can also substitute for oil at a ratio of one ton of coal for 3 or 4 barrels of oil. Crash study effort for various ways to increase production of coal even faster and for ways to convert from oil and gas to coal (and perhaps from oil to gas) and for emergency gasification of coal. Long-term goal is 1 billion tons annually by 1980, 2 billion by 1990, 4 billion by the year 2000.

5. Crash program (with proper safeguards, assurances, and even "bribes" for all concerned) to drill for offshore oil on the three coasts of the United States and world wide.

6. Even more emphasis on quick construction of the Alaskan pipeline (or pipelines), perhaps with an increase in capacity to 5 or 10 million barrels per day (about 2 or 3 billion barrels per year). It should be pointed out that there are more than 30 billion barrels of oil available in Naval Reserve No. 4, in addition to the more than 10 billion around Prudhoe Bay. Indeed, there are probably at least 50 billion recoverable barrels of Alaska oil in currently identified North Slope fields, and one would guess that it will be two or three times this amount with further exploration and improved recovery rate. This amount of reserves in turn implies that instead of having a two million barrel a day (or less than one billion barrels per year) pipeline, one might wish to have a much larger one, the equivalent of several billion

2

barrels a year, since this flow rate is still small compared to the
known reserves, not to speak of the likely discoveries. If this
expansion were done very rapidly, it could make a significant contri-
bution in the four or five year future and a major contribution in
six or seven years.

7. A crash program for development of Canadian oil sands. These sands are the only big source of fluid hydrocarbons by liquification of "solids" for which we know some acceptable techniques and their production costs quite well. The Canadian corporation, GCOS, has been operating for about five years, and I am told by officials of this corporation that if the price of crude in Edmonton is about five dollars a barrel, they can make money with the product (which should then sell for a little less than $6/barrel). In addition, the Syncrude Corporation is planning on investing $750 million in processing these oil sands, and has done a thorough survey of the techniques available, including those used by GCOS; in fact they have bought some of the GCOS technical know-how, but are making a number of changes. As a result of these acti vi ties, one may feel reasonably confident that this is one case where one could go ahead without great uncertainties in technology and costs.

We could imagine a Canadian operation which borrows about $6 billion
from the United States government, $6 billion from the Japanese govern-
ment, $4 billion from the German government, and $4 billion from other
European governments, with the idea of repaying each from the oil pro-
duced. If the company does this, and then has a real crash construction
program (i.e., on an almost wartime emergency basis), production might
well start in 1979 or 1980. Presumably a $20 billion investment of
this sort would produce about 1.2 more billion barrels of syncrude a
year, of which half could be delivered to the loaning governments (say,
30,000 barrels per year for every billion dollars loaned). If valued
at roughly $6/barrel, this would amortize the loan in seven or eight
years where the borrower would be paying six percent or so real inter-
est. Of course, since repayment is more or less at a fixed price, a
correction for inflation is not needed, and current interest rates of
10 to 12 percent (of which half covers inflation expectations of
lender) do not apply. This project, if initiated on this scale, almost
makes clear by itself to the world as a whole and the Arabs in particu-
lar that $5 or $6 is basically going to be the likely long term price
for oil in the 1980's.

8. A program with somewhat less urgency, but also very high priority, for the gasification and liquification of United States coal and oil shale. One could envisage here investment of two or three billion dollars in many different kinds of prototypes, and then if it seemed reasonable, a decision in the late seventies to put in an additional $15 to $30 billion to gain production of one to two billion barrels a year of "oil" and perhaps another investment of a similar amount to get 2 to 5 trillion cubic feet per year of high quality synthetic gas plus valuable by-products.

9. All the other useful research and production programs that are more or less in the mill.

DEAR HENRY:

THIS IS A PERSONAL NOTE. I CAN ONLY DESCRIBE IT AS ONE OF HIGH ADMIRATION FOR THE COURAGE AND ARTICULATENESS WHICH YOU BROUGHT TO THE EXPLANATION OF A DANGEROUS SITUATION AT A TERRIBLY EMOTIONAL POLITICAL MOMENT IN AMERICAN HISTORY. QUESTIONS WERE THROWN AT YOU THAT YOU HAD TO EXPECT WOULD BE, AND YOU ANSWERED THEM WITH DIGNITY. I AM SURE NEXT WEEK, AS YOU SAID, YOU WILL BE ABLE TO GIVE US THOSE REASONS FOR THE ALERT THAT YOU COULDN'T NOW.

I SUPPOSE I SHOULDN'T EVEN PUT THESE THOUGHTS DOWN ON PAPER. REPORTERS AREN'T SUPPOSED TO. BUT AS I SAID THIS IS PERSONAL.

GOOD LUCK.

Dear Henry:

All of us share your disappointment that the recent negotiations with the North Vietnamese did not come to fruition. I have no doubt that you conducted them with your customary brilliance, and I have no reason not to accept your public explanation that the difficulty was their intransigence. My problem is that no amount of intransigence on their part seems to me to justify the use of B-52's in the North.

Knowing you, I cannot but believe that you in fact agree with me. I realize that there is no reason why the President could care what I think. But there are many who have been his warm supporters who share my feeling that the use of area bombing in the North is doing irreparable damage to the United States abroad, and perhaps more seriously, to ourselves.

With warm personal regards.

Dear Biographee:

A PERSONAL LETTER FROM THE HON. GENERAL EDITOR

In writing to let you know that your name has been put
forward to me for biographical inclusion in the commemorative
Tenth Edition of this world-famed work, I would like to invite
you kindly to complete the enclosed questionnaire and return
it to me within fourteen days of receipt. My Editors will then
be able to prepare your detailed entry.

D.I.B. X, scheduled for publication in Winter 1973, will,
for the first time, be issued in four volumes (three containing
biographies - A to G, H to O, and P to Z - of men and women of
achievement throughout the world, and one including a complete
index of all entries in D.I.B. I to X inclusive, plus all
Forewords, Dedications, Memoirs, etc., as detailed on the
accompanying questionnaire). After this publication in four
volumes the Dictionary of International Biography will revert
to two volumes each year. Thus, this invitation to you is a
once-and-for-all offer for inclusion in a four-volume set, and
I know you will wish to take advantage of it.

The massive D.I.B. X will contain some 20,000 biographies;
the Editorial staff has already been increased; and arrangements
have been made with our printers for computerized typesetting
and rapid printing and binding to ensure publication by the due
date. In spite of the speed necessitated by doubling the size
of the work there will be no loss of quality: indeed, we are
proud of the many fine comments which have been made about the
quality and general excellence of D.I.B. by librarians and
biographees in many countries.

The Dictionary of International Biography is a firmly-
established record of contemporary achievement circulating on
a very large scale to no fewer than 137 nations of the world.
It enjoys the support and patronage of Heads of State and

P.T.O.

Government, National Librarians, University Presidents, etc. Each annual issue is dedicated to a Head of State and contains a frontispiece portrait and memoir on the life and work of the Head of State concerned. Thus far, all Continents have been recognized. As each Edition is published, a special presentation copy is made and bound by hand (incorporating in the leather and 22 carat gold binding the national colours of the country honoured) and presented to the Head of State to whom the volume is dedicated. Copies of this superb Royal Edition are housed in the private libraries of Sovereigns, Presidents and Prime Ministers. As an English organization, D.I.B. is proud of the fact that the first Head of State to have a personal copy was Queen Elizabeth II; her private library at Windsor Castle include D.I.B. in its Royal Edition.

A special feature of D.I.B. is the copyrighted coding which provides, at a glance, details of all other biographical reference works in which you are listed, some 130 biographical publications being included in this coding. (For more details of the coding see the top of Page 3 of the questionnaire).

For the seventh consecutive year I have been honoured by appointment as Hon. General Editor of D.I.B. and it is a source of great pride to me that I have been closely associated with this publication, as a member of the Editorial and Advisory Board, since its inception in 1960.

In accordance with long-standing policy, there is no charge or fee of any kind for the publication of your biography, nor are you under any obligation to purchase a copy. However, should you so wish, you are entitled (as a biographee) to take advantage of the special terms detailed on the back page of the questionnaire. These very substantial reductions (of up to 37.5%) have been introduced as our way of thanking biographees for co-operating with us in the preparation of this work.

Yours very truly,

Dear Dr. Kissinger:

May I impose upon your kindness to complete the enclosed
questionnaire in regard to a grant-in-aid you received from The
Rockefeller Foundation.

Presently, I am writing a dissertation at Rutgers-The State
University of New Jersey toward a doctoral degree in education.

The topic of my dissertation is an evaluation of the program
initiated in 1952 by The Rockefeller Foundation to encourage study
of legal and political philosophy. Before the program terminated
in 1962, 203 individual grants-in-aid were made under it.

As you were the recipient of a grant, I am interested to know
the result of the aid you received so that I can assess in some
substantive measure the success of the program in view of what
recipients themselves have to say about their part in it.

Enclosed is the questionnaire related to a specific grant
you received. I hope you will complete the questionnaire and
return it at your earliest convenience in the self-addressed
envelope enclosed.

Mr. Henry Kissinger,
The White House
Washington, D.C.

Dear Mr. Kissinger,

The breakdown of our peace negotiations causes me great concern. The war and the destruction of poor countries and their people in Indochina has gone on altogether too long. The bombing raids on the Hanoi-Haiphong area during the last week is a coercion we have no right to exert. Why should bombing make Hanoi want to deal in good faith, or even make that government agree to resume negotiations?

I am unable to see exactly what is at stake for the United States that would justify the continued suffering of millions of people. The myth of our "National Honor" has frequently been invoked. I say, "What honor?" We used to have a good name; but that reputation has been tarnished since we started pursuing policies of might-makes-right. We haven't even been able to bring about a just and representative government in South Vietnam, which remains morally corrupt and bankrupt.

The human aspects of this war do not seem to concern you or Mr. Nixon; but to me as a health professional, such wanton killing and human wretchedness as we are causing is at once irresponsible and immoral.

Powerful nations and persons must remember the responsibility that goes along with being powerful. I urge you strongly to do all in your power to end the war immediately. If you are unable to do so, then you must dissociate yourself publicly with policies that do not value human life and dignity.
