Marion Meacham and Levi Ross appeared to discuss the Northern
Tier with the Board. Mrs. Meacham feels that tankers would bring in an
adequate supply for the west coast. She brought up the point that a
surface spill is not nearly as dangerous as an underwater leak from the
pipe. Meacham stressed that she doesn't want Norther Tier to get a
monopoly on the pipeline before other companies have had a chance to
put in their proposals. So she requests the Board contact the Energy
and Utilities committee and oppose bill #2974 on the all American Pipe
Line.
