 (Billion Barrels Per Year)

 ^/ Cram, Ira P. 



6. U.S. Domestic demand differs from total supply by the sum of exports 



and inventory change. 



7. Exports and inventory change should approximate 50-70 million barrels 



a year during the period 1980-2000. This is about i^ to 1 percent of 

 total supply. 



8. The Department of the Interior forecast of July 1968 is almost the same 



as their 1965 forecast. 



9. The high, medium and low RFF forecasts are the ones extending to year 



2000 (high line goes off chart) .^
