Stat. 877), findings and determinations have been made that adjust^^ "^^ ^^^2. ments in the imports of crude oil, unfinished oils and finished products were necessary so that such imports would not threaten to impair the national security, and such adjustments have been made by Proclama73 Stat.

March 1969 to conduct a comprehensive review of the mandatory oil import restrictions under Proclamation No. 3279, as amended, submitted, on February 2, 1970, a report concluding that the existing overland exemption in combination with a system of restriction based on international agreements does not effectively serve our national security interests and leads to inequities within the United States, and recommending that volumetric restrictions on the importation of Canadian oil be established as a means of interim control during the period of transition to an alternative United States-Canada energy policy. The Director of the Office of Emergency Preparedness, with the concurrence of the Oil Policy Committee, has recommended that the importation into Districts I - IV of Canadian crude and unfinished oils heretofore subject to voluntary controls, while exempt from mandatory controls, be limited to 395,000 average barrels per day in the period March 1, 1970, through December 31, 1970, in order to institute a more effective system of import control for the accomplishment of the national security purposes of Proclamation 3279, as amended.
