SUBJECT: "International Energy Biweekly Review," 12 July 1978
ER IEBR 78-014
I've just read the very interesting "International Energy
Biweekly Review" of 12 July. By coincidence, I cane across this
just a few hours after our discussion with 25X1
One of the topics in that discussion was t a e or conservation
being experienced around the world. After reading your study, I
had several thoughts on this subject:
a. Could we not produce this in an unclassified version?
I see that it is only "CONFIDENTIAL 0" It seems to me STAT
that simply toning down a few comments about the 25X1
I Iwould reduce it to unclassified, as long as the rest
of your statements about foreign governments are essentially
factual. Since Othought he was telling us something
quite new, it might be helpful if we could make the kind of
information he was discussing more available.
b. Is it possible to make rough estimates of 1977's
performance? If you can, I'd like to have this material
condensed into a briefing for the President. With it I'd
like to have a chart that shows your four energy-consuming
sectors and some indication of the performance of various
countries in each of those plus their overall performance. I
think 1976 data will not be relevant enough.
