Summary
I have today issued a Proclamation adjusting and regulating imports of crude oil and its principal products into the United States.… The new program is designed to insure a stable, healthy industry in the United States.… In addition to serving our own direct security interests, the new program will also help prevent severe dislocations in our own country as well as in oil industries elsewhere.…
