Venezuela and oil
Venezuela was the largest supplier of oil to the US, in 1974. In 1975, they were taking steps to nationalize the industry. He took his concerns to the American Government, fearful “Venezuela could play one American oil company off against another. ... McClintock reportedly wanted the United States Government to take on a major and direct role in negotiations concerning prices, levels of production and the share that would be channelled through American companies to the United States market.”[2]
