Filibustering to preserve the filibuster?

Mark Twain is suppose to have once said that
he was an ex pert on the discipline of silence and
could speak for hours about it, This points up the
unfortunate fact that most of us seem to talk
more than is generally good for us. Perhaps it
would not be quite so bad if we would make a
habit of occasionally throwing something into a
conversation which is important or even
relevant. But. alas. it is true that America is a
nation of talkers with little to say

And t'S. senators are certainly no exception.
There are few people who like to hear their own
voice more than politicians. Asa matter of fact.
senators like to talk so much they have created a
special institution just for that purpose. it is
know as a filibuster. The filibuster is a
phenomenon quite unique to the ('8. Senate. It
allows any senator to talk for as long as he wants
on any subject or subjects he desires. The Senate
does not have a rule. as does the House of
Representatives. requiring discussion to be
germane to the issue at hand. Thus. the filibuster
has provided many interesting moments on the
Senate floor which might have otherwise not
occurred such as the reading of "Goldilocks and

However. the filibuster is a powerful ob-
structionist political tool which is often used to
block debates or votes on certain legislation. The
filibuster w as used often in the ltltitls by Southern
conservatives who wanted to block civil rights
legislation. It has often been employed by
liberals as well.

Actually, the threat of a filibuster is almost as
powerful as the real thing. The late Wayne Morse
once threatened to filibuster legislation he
disliked. and his mere threat produced a com-
promise which he fouiid acceptable. Many
thought Morse simply wanted the opportunity to

The current Senate. perhaps feeling envious of
recent reforms in the House. decided to seriously

also discussed. but no action was ever taken The

Oil politics

Congress to do baffle with multinational monstrosifies

lty ltltl t'li \l.|.llltl(ill'l‘ll|

This week the l'iiited States Senate \\lll
st't' two proposals introduced to create a
federal oil firm Senators :\(ll.’ll Steieiisoii
‘li lll i and Henry Jackson 'l) Wash ‘
have announced plans to introduce roughly
parallel legislation that would make the
government competitors of the private oil
companies

Since 1973 and the onslaught of the
energy crisis we have heard a public cry to
correct some of the grosser inequities
suffered upon us by the energy majors
(‘urrently the ('ongress is attempting to
remove the depletion allowance and some
of the other major tax breaks allowed by
law Despite a quantum leap in recent
profits. the industry is fighting these
efforts tooth and nail

TIIE (HI. INIH'STRY has been accused
of deliberately restricting output in order
to keep prices and profits high. To such
charges the industry cites its traditionally
low rates of return and high capital costs
as justification for huge profit require-
ments. In short. the (‘ongress is told it does
not know the oil business and should not
tamper with the free market forces.

The Stevenson proposal calling for the
creation of a National Energy Supply
(‘orporation iNESt'i would. according to
its supporters. give the government the
knowledge it lacks to judge the industries'
behavior. The NESt‘ would operate comp-
etitively with eXIsting firms as a “yard-
stick' through which the taking authority
could gain firsthand the information about

profits. prices. and performance for which
it formerly relied on industry largesse
The Jackson proposal would supposedly
put competition back in the industry and
thereby hasten increased exploration and
production by all domestic participants.
The relative merits or faults of the two
proposals or the companies case against
them is not the foremost concern at this
stage of the debate lt is that sentiment
exists in the l' S. ('ongress advocating a
national oil company. Implicit in such
sentiment is that the l'nited States has
created a monster and is currently
squaring off to do battle with its oldest
multinational monstrosity. Abroad. the
record of host goveriinientoil company
relations has left a legacy of suspicion
throughout the oil»producing world.

THE FEAR It!“ being cheated underlaid
the establishment in Venezuela of the
governmentewned Venezuela Petroleum
(‘orporation ((‘VPI in 1960. Its operation
has enabled the Venezuelan government to
gain firsthand knowledge of many aspects
of the oil industry and to use the (‘VP‘s
production costs as a yardstick to judge
the claims of the foreign companies. By
the same token. it was sin.ilar fears of tax
cheating and profiteering that led to the
organization of ()PEt‘ during the same
period.

Production and export of oil in Vene-
zuela is controlled almost entirely by
subsidiaries of the world‘s most powerful
and affluent multinational corporations.
among them New Jersey Standard. (luff
(til, and Texaco.

The situation is similar to [TS domestic
production The companies operate in
every phase of the industry. from drilling
and transport to refining and marketing of
finished products They are financially
welleendowed and work closely together in
a basically oligopolistic market setting.
Much of the strength. independence and
efficiency of these organizations stems
from their ability to seek profit maxima»
zation over the entire range of their
operations through central coordination.
Again. a similar from~the-ground-t0—the-
pump organization is the rule in the l'nited
States.

A recent study entitled “Lessons in the
Politics of Dependence.“ described the oil
companies' policies in Venezuela as
preventing their policy makers from
knowing the basis of company profit
calculations upon which Venezuelan taxes
are collected. Each of the corporations
operating in Venezuela controls an im-
mense network of economic activities.
pays a host of taxes (many of which can be
discounted against each otheri and sells
thousands of products in many different
countries.

Profit maximization demands the de-
termination of the optimum combination
of these activities to earn the largest sum
of money for the overall operation. It is no
wonder that few people outside the
corporate offices understand how the
industry operates and it is to their
advantage to maintain the complex veil.
'l‘ltt‘St‘vml companies are subsidiaries of
l' S. corporations and the operations in

Venezuela are easily recognizable in our
own country.

Senators Stevenson and Jackson might
well have been reformist Venezuelans
fifteen years ago. The fact that some L' S
policy makers feel a need for the same
"yardstick" as the oil dependent South
Americans suggests several conclusions.
To be sure. our dependency for oil is
different in nature from that of the
Venezuelans but our need is such that
keeping the industry honest is just as
critical in the L'nited States. Moreover. the
long run may present us with future
conficts with our enterprising offspring as
producer countries assert their desire for
rapid development in terms of higher
prices and put pressure on the multi-
nationals‘ profits.

Tuesday. the Wall Street Journal. in an
editorial entitled “The Federal ()il Ba
ron." sloughed off the federal oil firms
proposals as political haymaking and
another manifestation of creeping social—
ism. Predictably. the only' monster the
“SI found was the government bureau»
cracy'. However. the government monster.
to the extent it represents protection of the
public interest. will need all its muscle and
momentum to bring the multinational
corporation to account If the government
does indeed become a “baron" in the
domestic oil industry. let us hope it may
instill some responsibility in the oligarchs
