bfoil use

United Press International
HOUSTON — A Shell Oil Co. analyst Wednesday
predicted a leveling of American oil consumption in
the 1980s but said half of the petroleum consumed in
the United States still will be imported in 1990.
The nation currently imports about half of the oil
and gas it consumes.
The predictions were part of a preview of Shell’s
annual energy forecast to be released in full later this
year.
This country s use of oil will level out in the early
80s, but we re going to be extremely vulnerable on
^energy for at least the next ten years,” said S.M.
Lambert, Shell energy economics and corporate
planning manager.
‘Half of the oil we will need in 1990 will be im
ported. Of the domestic half, about a third must
come from reserves that have not yet been disco
vered.”
“Total energy use in 1990 will be a lot less than
previously projected, the equivalent of about 42
million barrels of oil a day in 1990 instead of 49
million or so,” Lambert said.
Lambert attributed the downward adjustment in
energy prices, government energy programs, a slug
gish national economy and the effectiveness of ener
gy conservation.

urged by Texas reps
United Press International
WASHINGTON — Sen. Lloyd Bentsen, D-Texas, two Democratic
douse members and one Republican joined Wednesday in urging
senate confirmation of President Carter’s nominations of three federal
judges for Texas.
The lawmakers testified before the Senate Judiciary Committee at
rearings on the nominations of Texas district court judges Hipolita F.
larcia, C. Frederick Shannon and Filemon B. Vela.
Garcia and Shannon, both from San Antonio, were nominated as
ederal judges for the Western District of Texas, while Vela was named
a judge for the Southern District.
No opposition was expressed to any of the nominees.
The committee is expected to approve the nominations early next
veek and to send them to the Senate floor for confirmation.
In opening the testimony, Bentsen told the panel that all three
mminees “meet and exceed the high standards of ability, integrity and
raining that your committee so rightly demands from those who would
lerve the cause of justice in our country.”
Garcia has been the judge of the 144th District Court of Texas since
974.
A World War II veteran, he earned his law degree from St. Mary’s
Jniversity in San Antonio in 1951. He served as an assistant district
ittomey in Bexar County from 1952 until 1964, when he was elected a
minty judge.
l Bentsen said that in addition to his “impressive legal credentials,”
ystem. Itnij ] arc j a a i so h a d been active in San Antonio civic and charitable organi-
birasgorun rjtions, including the League of United Latin American Citizens.
Shannon, a long-time resident of San Antonio, was graduated from
the University of Texas Law School in 1968 and was in private
mctice until 1975, when he was elected judge of the 131st District
]ourt of Texas.
“He is an exceptionally able and qualified candidate for a federal
udgeship,” the senator said.
PC Tj Vela, who has been judge of the 107 th Judicial District of Cameron-
L JU Villacy County since 1975, earned his law degree at St. Mary’s in
962. He has practiced law in Harlingen and Brownsville, and was city
11- ommissioner of Brownsville from 1971 to 1973.
Joining Bentsen in praising the nominees were Reps. Abraham
| Jazen Jr., D-Texas; Kika de la Garza, D-Texas, and Tom Loeffler,
