John - can you post (or point me to previous post) the thing you read on the Jeff Rense show. Something about Strom Thurmonds's question to Dr. Harris of the Pentagon. Included was something about a 70% drop in ? refining ? or imports?? Went so fast on the audio tape I couldn't get it all. Don't suppose there is a transcript of that show available??? Or your notes for that show? Lots of info there.

For anyone who hasn't heard the show, it is the Sightings Nov. 30th show. Here's the link: Sightings archives direct real audio link to 11/30 show Start at about 1:00:00

Linda:

Sorry I'm not able to pull this up and re-post it for you right now, but you'll find everything you need on a November 3, 1999, thread which I originally posted it to, headed:

"Is There A Transcript Of The #Lumen Foods Chat From Last Night?"

That was someone else's thread, which also covered refineries and oil. I tucked in the quote and a current official download source [the original minutes were removed from public access]towards the end of the thread.

A quick search of the archives should bring that up for you...

Finally found it - in "uncatagorized".

Is there a transcript of the #Lumen Foods chat from last night?

John's posts on that thread:

Since this is a critical [and much-criticized :)] statistic, here's the source for that '30 per cent of U.S. refinery capability after Y2K' quote, which is now frequently being disputed [these messages were originally posted late in the "OIL CHAT" thread, and are reproduced here - with additional source references - for those interested readers who probably missed them there]: "I understand that the commercial fuel industry is facing a Y2K challenge in their refinery operations. Some reports state that only 30% of their refineries will be renovated by January 1, 2000." - from a question and answer exchange between, among others, Senator Strom Thurmond and a Dr. Harris, of the Pentagon, at a meeting of the U.S. Congressional Supplier Capability Working group. [minutes now taken off-line. Quoted by the 'New World Order Intelligence Update' - which I edit - directly from my own reading of those minutes; and first published in our 'Y2K Weekly Alert', December 14th, 1998]

You can see this, together with a mass of other Y2K quotes [including the elusive Chevron SEC statements], on the 'New World Order Intelligence Update' web site at

Here's the complete quote from those minutes:

COMMENT: I understand that the commercial fuel industry is facing a Y2K challenge in their refinery operations. Some reports state that only 30% of their refineries will be renovated by January 1 ,2000. QUESTION: Has the Department [of Defence] looked at the potential impact upon its operations if 70% of the U.S. refinery operations are shut down? QUESTION: How long will the Department's supply of fuel last if deliveries are suspended? COMMENT: Over the past several years the DoD has expanded its reliance upon "direct vendor delivery" and "just in time Logistics." This has allowed the Department to save money by reducing the inventory levels that must be stored and maintained. However, this has made the Department more susceptible to disruptions in commercial deliveries. QUESTION: Has the DoD fully explored the impact on our military capability if the private sector contractors are not able to supply the Department because of a Y2K- related failure in their production and transportation systems...?

I've now [miraculously!] found the original DoD Y2K briefing.

Its been rearchived at

http://www.c3i.osd.mil/doc/

Go to the third item down:

* 'DoD Y2K Briefing, 9 September 1998 (archived .zip file)'

[This is a a lengthy download, since it's a zipped slide briefing]

You need slide 43 - "Supplier Capability Working Group".

===================

though on the Nov. 39 Jeff Rense show John mentioned that the report has been pulled from public view. I couldn't get it to open.

Note... on the audio tape it is mentioned and read at about 1:05:00

Thanks John for pointing me to the previous post.
