WHEREAS, a critical shortage of crude oil to supply
Minnesota Refineries will exist when Canada ceases crude
oil exports in 1981; and
WHEREAS, the other major supply of crude oil to
Minnesota is by river barge, however, this is a seasonal
source of supply, since traffic on the Upper Mississippi
is seriously crippled and no longer effective after November
20 of each year as ice blockage grinds traffic to a standstill;
and
WHEREAS, unless relief from this situation is attained
before the cut-off in 1981 an energy shortage in Minnesota
will most certainly exist, and have a far-reaching, adverse
economical impact, and could become critical to the welfare
and comfort of the people in this 5tate, especially in the
winter months during the heating season; and
WHEREAS; Northern Pipeline Company of Delaware, Inc. ,
is proposing a barge unloading terminal and tank farm at
Wood River, Illinois, which will contain an adequate supply
for refineries and supply crude oil for a 24" pipeline ex-
tending north through sections of Tllinois, Iowa, and Minne-
sota, to refineries in Minnesota; and
[niHEREAS, the 1978 Minnesota AFL-CIO Convention, re-
presenting the interests of organized laborers in this State,
passed a resolution supporting this project; and
WHEREAS, the citizens of St. Paul rely heavily on
Canadian supplied crude oil; and
