$15 Million
Oil Lease Sale
Brings Big Smile
To Egan’s Face
JUNEAU UH — Reports that
yesterday’s oil and gas lease sale
in Anchorage brought the state
almost $15 niillion also brought
a huge smile to the face of Gov.
Wm. Egan.
Egan said the “tremendous re
sponse from the oil industry . . .
shows their faith in Alaska and
what Alaska has to offer them.
“With the major oil companies
of the nation participating in oil
exploration in Alaska, the de
velopment of the oil industry in
Alaska is merely in its infancy.
"The oil companies share the
great enthusiasm which all Alas
kans share in the future of this
industry in this state.”
While Egan said the unexpect
ed take from the 76 tracts offered
for lease would give the state
a financial cushion for fiscal 1963,
he said he did not see the likeli
hood of a tax decrease.
With oil production in Alaska
currently tunning about 10 mil
lion barrels a year, Egan said, the
state has become the nation’s 10th
highest oil producing state, “and
it won’t be too many years before
we will be producing several
times that figure each year.
“This sale puts the state’s fi
nancial footing on a much sound
er basis,” Egan said.
“With the revenue from 1961
sales and from sales planned for
1962, we can certainly see finan
| cial stability in fiscal 1063.
“It was fiscal 1983 and fiscal
1964, when our transistional
grants expired, which promised
to bring financial burdens.
“I want to make it clear, how
ever, that in our budget review
for fiscal 1963, we are holding
departmental requests to the ne
cessities. The money received to
day will have hot effect on our
efforts to get one dollar’s worth of
service for every dollar of state
money spent.
“I know there will be some
who will spontaneously say, with
out having the necessary facts
before them, that this will call
for a tax reduction recommenda
tion to be made to the next Leg
islature.
“But, let me say, we are look
ing at the entire picture in our fi
nancial planning for the years
immediately ahead.”
