READING BEYOND THE NOAM: BIG OILS TWO REALLY REALLY BIG PROBLEMS SOLVED BY TWO PLANE CRASHES IN 1962. IF YOU WANT YOU CAN ...EVEN TYPE THE WORD STRUCTURAL. 2 Of Big Oils Big 3 Concerns in 1957 Were Conveniently Solved By Sudden Losses In Altitude During 1962 Just Sayin Of equal Concern was an offshore concession deal between Iran and Enrico Mattei of the Italian AGIP corporation that assigned Iran a 75 percent share of profits. The AGIP deal precipitated other breaches in the fifty-fifty standard, which ARAMCO had pioneered and which the US and Britain had mutually pledged to defend.9(38) These challenges to the oil companies concessions hardened official resolve to preserve the status quo. According to the State Department, Aramco-Saudi relations ought to remain on a purely commercial basis, and the administration should be willing to intervene when there is a clear threat to American interests.

More significantly, officials determination to uphold the private structure of American oil diplomacy precluded a regional development body of the type proposed by Hammarskjold. Dulles [brother Allen steered Warren Commission--N.H.] told John J. McCloy [Warren Commission member who took Time out for Mining his own Rockefeller business with a Hanna in the CIA Brazil Coup of 64.. maybe thats where they got the metal to patch up the Magic Bullet after they found it on the wrong Gurney?
