U.S. technology and Siberian oil
Sir, — Since the Soviet I Government’s rejection of The Foreign Trade Bill be- ' cause of the Jackson amend|ment, it is understandable that Victor Zorza, as a patriotic United States citizen, ! should seek some moraleboosting consolation in the mistaken belief that the Soviet. Union, “to unlock the vast reserves of Siberian oil . . . needs the technology : now being developed for the • new oil fields in Alaska’s .North Slope.” It is now ten , vears since the Soviet Union opened and developed Si-i beria’s Tyumen oil fields' without benefit of United! States technology, (the fields yielded 116 million tons of oil in 1974) and in climatic and geographical conditions, infinitely more difficult than] those now being encountered' on Alaska’s North Slope. — Yours etc., M.C.H. j April 9, 1975.
