MASSIVE SPILLS LOOM
AS TANKERS PLY SEA

_ OTTAWA (CP)

sive Conservative
MPs warned Thursday of
massive West Coast oil
spills following the collapse

a pipeline pro ship
Alaskan oil ib the mid-west
United States. '

Without the pipeline,
Alaska crude oil would be
shipped down the West
Coast in tankers, posing a
“massive environmental
threat," Benno Friesen
(PC—Surrey-White Rock)
told the House.

His comments came in the
wake of a decision by
Kitimat Pipe Line Ltd. to
withdraw an application for
an oil-bearing pipeline from
Kitimat, B.C., to Edmonton
and on to the United States.

External Affairs Minister
Don Jamieson agreed that
the decision probably will
lead to increased oi] tanker
traffic along the West Coast.

Canada has been
discussing with the U.5.

as a means of

Under the proposal,
Alaskan crude oil would he

by the existing - Canadian

Although Ray favors that

The company spokesman
noted that the Trans-

Canada and the U.S.
“Should the necessary

Cressey explained.
Earlier, he told reporters
in Vancouver: “We will not
spend any more money in

- decisions might point to the

South. The grounds are so
muddy now if ia not possible
to say what might happen.”

TAASK chairman Jahour
stated thathe is “not really"

Daily Herald.

Jahour said that TAASK is
opposed to all west coast
tanker traffic as it is
presently administered.

He pledged that evenif the

continue to push for better.
standards and
stricter contro] of tanker
traffic~especially involving

Jahour predicted that
TAASK would still par-

hearings so long as the
Kitimat oil pipeline com-
pany’s application is not
completely withdrawn.

might be a ploy,” he said,
‘We don't want to let our

Pointing out that Kitimat
would still be the first
alternative if the Cherry
Point proposal is turned
down, Jahour said that
TAASK would ‘‘definitely
continue our studies’ and

still hoped to obtain funds
from the Kitimat Oil
Coalition, ;

TAASK . ‘representatives

members of the Coalition
this Saturday in Kitimat.

Mayor George Thom _ of

Kitimat told the Herald that _

at first he was ‘very
suprised” when he heard the
announcement.

But now he said, “It looks

to me that they (the com-.

ny) have simply taken the

ment.

Thom was referring to the
decision last week of
commissioner Andrew
Thompson to make the
company take the lead in
presenting evidence at the
oil port inquiry.

. “The only difference now
is that they are just ordinary
interveners,” he said.

Thom admitted ‘that the
company's move to supper
the Cherry Point proposal
“very possibly” meant the
Kitimat would not be con-
sidered for the port.

- However, he said that he
was still confident that at
least, ‘the true potential of
Kitimat will come to light”
in the hearings.

“(The oil port proposal)
would have made Kitimat
the most sophisticated
inland harbour in the
world,” he said.

The mayor indicated that
