gas, would by now have reduced this dependence to approximately 45 percent. In the process, 21 million barrels of oil would have been saved. In the Middle Atlantic States-Pennsylvania, New York, and New Jersey-a natural gas and oil dependence of 41 percent of electricity generation could be reduced to around 20 percent, with a savings of over 84 million barrels. And in the south Atlantic region-Maryland through Florida, including West Virginia-a 35 percent dependence could be reduced to 23 percent, saving approximately 48 million barrels.
Mr. President, I believe that it is essential that the Nation adopt as a matter of national policy a strategy which will enable us to reduce the demand for both natural gas and imported petroleum by converting electric powerplants and other high-volume facilities now burning these fuels to domestic coal. Making this conversion may not be easy for some of these facilities. Implementing such a conversion policy nationally may present logistic problems involving coal supply and transportation systems to move the coal to the converted powerplants and industrial facilities. It will require arrangements for continuing electric service in those areas where plants may be temporarily shut down to convert. The bill is designed to facilitate these steps to energy self-sufficiency.
Perhaps the most difficult aspect of constraints which the Nation's air quality laws have necessarily imposed on the ability of electrical powerplants and other facilities to burn any but the lowest-sulfur fuels. For this reason, this bill provides for temporary and limited variances to be granted from Federal and State emissions standards to facilitate conversion to coal, provided that such variances will not result in violation of primary ambient air quality standards.
Mr. President, I urge the adoption of this legislation. It is entirely appropriate and essential to our long-run energy supply position that we reduce our reliance on foreign oil and increase the utilization of our abundant domestic coal resources. This measure represents the first in what will necessarily be a long series of national initiatives which we must undertake to improve the Nation's capability to be more nearly self-sufficient in basic energy supplies.

NOTICE OF HEARINGS ON OIL AND GAS DEVELOPMENT IN SANTA BARBARA CHANNEL
Mr. METCALF. Mr. President, ever since the famous oil well blowout in the Santa Barbara Channel in January 1969, the future development of the oil and gas resources under the channel has been a matter of great concern throughout the United States, particularly in California. The Committee on Interior and Insular Affairs has held hearings on legislation concerning the Santa Barbara situation in both the 91st and 92d Congresses. No law was enacted.
The senior Senator from California (Mr. CRANSTON) has introduced a bill designed to resolve the many unanswered questions-the Santa Barbara Channel Federal Energy Reserve Act (S. 2339). President Nixon also has proposed legislation dealing with the Santa Barbara situation-S. 1951.
I wish to inform all Senators and other interested persons that the Subcommittee on Minerals, Materials and Fuels will hold a hearing on S. 1951 and S. 2339 on November 12. At this hearing we will hear Government witnesses only. The hearing will begin at 10 a.m. in room 3110, Dirksen Senate Office Building.

OPEN HEARING ON S. 2589, NATIONAL EMERGENCY PETROLEUM ACT OF 1973
Mr. JACKSON. Mr. President, I wish to announce for the information of the Senate and the public that the Committee on Interior and Insular Affairs will hold an open hearing on Thursday, November 8, on S. 2589, the National Emergency Petroleum Act of 1973.
I need not remind my colleagues of the urgency for considering this measure. Since its introduction, the Interior Committee, together with members from the Committee on Commerce, Public Works, and the Joint Committee on Atomic Energy, have been meeting with administration officials in an effort to devise the best possible strategy to meet the current and prospective energy crisis facing the country. We are actively working on this legislation, and the hearing next Thursday will be for the purpose of receiving testimony from representatives of the administration, including Gov. John A. Love, Director, Energy Policy Office. The committee will invite statements for the record from industry and other witnesses. Time will not permit oral testimony. It is our hope to put together a full and complete hearing record which will be useful and instructive to the Members of Congress and the public as this legislation is considered.
The hearing will begin at 10 a.m. in room 3110 of the Dirksen Senate Office Building.
