Supply Association Tuesday. “There is a strong feeling of a positive attitude that the new admi nistration will formulate a viable energy policy which would streng then the nation,” said Halbouty, a graduate of Texas A&M University. “Energy is the foundation upon which our total strength is built.” Halbouty, emphasizing he was speaking as a private citizen, called for letting the free market operate in the oil industry, unfettered by gov ernment regulation. He said rising prices would expand production, in crease conservation and properly re ward the most efficient producers oi new energy. Halbouty said Americans should reject the idea that they are running out of oil and gas. “I refute this pessimism,” he said. “As an earth scientist and petroleum engineer, I unequivocally declare that significant oil and gas reserves remain to be found in this land of ours. “I would like to stress — as I have many times in the past — that the United States has no energy shor tage. The United States has the potential to produce as much oil and gas in the future as we have in our entire history. “Our gas potential in the United States is not only vast, but huge,” Halbouty said. Halbouty ridiculed President Jim my Carter’s energy policy. “What has been done is to impede production and curtail production,” Halbouty said. “The government has acted on the principle that the way to deal with energy is to do away with it. “Conservation does not mean non use. It means optimal use over time. Energy resources are valuable only if they are produced and consumed. Halbouty called “unfounded” fears that oil and gas exploration and production damage the environ ment. “Years of experience in the United States and abroad have demons trated the industry’s capability to find and produce oil and gas with little or no significant damage to the environment,” he said. onicle saidSi inrlnrU United Press International leTexasVh SAN ANTONIO — Charles Veverka, the former Dade County, .jj i i®?

Veverka testified earlier this year in the trial of five former police men involved in the attack. Acquittals of the five by an all-white, all-male jury resulted in riots that took 18 lives in Miami and did property damage exceeding $100 million. Veverka’s trial is being heard by a jury consisting of four Mexican- American men, one Mexican-American woman, one black woman, two white men and four white women. The trial was moved from Florida to Atlanta to New Orleans and finally to San Antonio, where the racial climate was deemed stable by federal officials.
