Superport
Will Be
Built
HOUSTON - An off-
shore superport to dock huge
tankers will be built In Texas
despite a study by the Federal
Maritime Administration which
calls for such a port in the Gulf
of Mexico only off Louisiana,
an oil company official said
Monday.
The federal study, released
Sunday in Washington, said
only two such ports were
needed off the coasts of Loui-
siana and Deleware.
"We are proceeding with our
project as diligently as we
tan," Robert H. Chitwood, a
spokesman for a nine-company
oil company consortium plan-
ning to build the Texas super-
port said Monday.
Another oil company execu-
tive, who would not allow him-
self to be named, said super-
ports will be built off the coasts
of both Gulf States.
"The way tilings are going
nov., I can't see a lag of more
than three months in the com-
pletion dates of terminals off
Louisiana and Texas." he said.
Shell Oil Co. and Humble Oil
and Refining Co. are members
of consortiums in both Texas
and Louisiana planning to build
the ports. "You can be sure
that industry is vakin-' both
projects very seriously," a
company source said.
State Rep. Ray Lemroon, who
authored the bill creating the-
Texas Offshore Terminal Com-
mission, said Monday there are
no laws on the books that could
stop the Texas project and no
necessity for federal funds.
"Texans have been deeply of-
fended by the story suggesting
only two locations" off the
Louisiana and Deleware coasts,
Lemmon said.
"This report is a callous dis-
regard for the 300,000 to 400,000
Texan.v who depend upon the oil
industry directly or indirecti j
for tlieij livelihood," He said.
