| Summary: | Theodore Garrish, Federal Inspector, notes that the Executive Administration appears to support export of Alaskan natural gas to the East Asia (the Trans-Alaska Gas System is not mentioned by name) and that the Economic Policy Council will probably recommend that based on a draft of the Presidential finding. He warns such approval would generate concerns that the U.S. is retreating from its commitment to the Alaska Natural Gas Transportation System (ANGTS). This would complicate discussions between the U.S. and Canada over construction of the southern portion of ANGTS. |

| Notes: | Title from subject line. This memorandum is addressed to James A. Baker III. Copies were sent to Eugene McAllister and Arthur B. Culvahouse, Jr. (Counsels to the President). They served on the President's Economic Policy Council (EPC). This document is archived in Box 11, Folder 11 of the document collection for Office of the Federal Inspector for the Alaska Natural Gas Transportation System, housed at National Archives and Records Administration, Washington, D.C. The first two pages are the memorandum from Theodore Garrish to James Baker. Page 3 is a short memorandum addressed to Arthur Culvahouse Jr. That second memo serves as a cover letter for his copy of the memorandum sent to Baker, and has the title (on the subject line): North Slope gas exports. This memorandum was later referred to Ernest F. Chase, who replied to Garrish in a memorandum on October 21. That memorandum is cataloged separately and is called: Alaska North Slope gas. |
