That's equal lo a hit more than hall' the current import lev- el. Their model for a Petroleum llcserve Corporation is the highly successlul World War ll effort that from scratch created a synthetic rubber industry when the Japanese cut us oil iroin most oi' our natural rubber imports. The Cutler-lgnatius-Zuckert plan would have the government linanct- and build synthetic oil plants. to be op- erated or leased hy private companies. The technology is no mystery f- just expensive. Germany, they point oiit. fought the last war' with synthetic oil produced from coal. lt can also be squeczcd out ol' shale. tar sands and farm crops. UA standing capacity to product- 5 iiitlltoii barrels daily lrom indigenous sources. they say. would be ol' incals culablc value to the United States and the tree world --- whether or not this capacity is continuously used. Thus. it OPEC decided to pump more oil. the plants could he shut down. or produc- tion limited. The government, not the private operators, would take tlic risk. lt the cost seems high, the authors ot' the plan point out. 5 million barrels a day til imported oil cost billion it year and the price moves up at tlljliifs whim.

This nation would no longer be politis t-.tllv econoinieally, and strategically 'vulnei'ol5le to OPEC Under the au- thors' concept. the Petroleum Reserve t'orporation could finance plant con- struction by selling bonds, or through a it indiall tax yielded by decontrol. A high government official told this column that Cutler, Ignatius and Zuck- ert are on the right track. And a va- riety ot hills to do something beyond mere decontrol ot' domestic oil prices is in the congressional hopper. Anderson and some oi' his colleagues. including .James J. .letlords QR-Vt.l co- incidentally have introduced a Fuels Replacement Bill. lt would require re- finers to substitute synthetic oil, alco- hol or other fuels up to 10 per cent ol' their refinery mix by 1987. lt this idea is so sound, .lel't'ords told reporters, you might ask, 'Why liasti't the Department oi Energy sug' gested it ' One DOE spokesman gave me a candid answer that isn't likely to he repeated puhlicly: The DCE consid- ered il. hut hasn't used it hecause the oil companies didn't like it.
