Mr. HARKINS. Now, it is also true that the vast majority of the pipelines of the United States are owned and controlled by the 20 major integrated oil companies; isn't that true?

Mr. BICKS. Yes; it is.

Mr. HANSEN. Yes.

Mr. HARKINS. And this is the situation that has existed in the oil industry for many years; isn't that true?

Mr. HANSEN. Many years.

Mr. HARKINS. In fact, during the TNEC investigation in the 1930's, it was found that the 20 major oil companies then controlled 85 percent of the crude-oil pipeline mileage in the United States. Is that correct? Mr. HANSEN. I have no reason to doubt it. I can't verify the exact figures.

Mr. HARKINS. At the request of the subcommittee, the Interstate Commerce Commission has prepared a chart that shows the control of 20 major oil companies over oil pipelines today. This chart shows that these companies operate 73 percent of the total pipeline mileage in the United States.

I interject here that the figures are minimum figures because they are based only on pipelines that report to the Interstate Commerce Commission and, therefore, exclude intrastate pipelines in California and Texas, where there is a substantial mileage. These figures also show that 20 major oil companies account for 75 percent of the total barrels of oil transported through pipelines in the United States. I take it that these figures would compare with the information the Antitrust Division is compiling on this subject.

Mr. HANSEN. I'd say they do.

Mr. HARKINS. Mr. Chairman, I'd like to insert in the record these tables prepared by the Interstate Commerce Commission.

The CHAIRMAN. It will be accepted.
