U.S. Inches Toward Goal Of Energy Independence
MIDLAND, Tex. -- The desolate stretch of West Texas desert known as the Permian Basin is still the lonely domain of scurrying roadrunners by day and howling coyotes by night. But the roar of scores of new oil rigs and the distinctive acrid fumes of drilling equipment are unmistakable signs that crude is gushing again. And not just here. Across the country, the oil and gas industry is vastly increasing production, reversing two decades of decline. Using new technology and spurred by rising oil prices since the mid-2000s, the industry is extracting millions of barrels more a week, from the deepest waters of the Gulf of Mexico to the prairies of North Dakota..

CONGRESS PACKS AND LEAVES, BUT THE BATTLE WILL CONTINUE
CONGRESS had not even adjourned for the holidays -it did that a couple of days later, in the midst of the capitals first snowstorm this winter - when President Reagan made it clear that 1986 is going to be a year of intense political combat. Speaking to lawmakers who had worked for passage of a measure mandating a balanced budget by 1991, Mr. Reagan said he intended to seek deep cutbacks in wasteful and unnecessary domestic programs in his proposed budget for 1987. But a senior White House official, speaking less publicly only a couple of hours later, said domestic cutbacks would not be enough. Like Congressional critics of both parties, the official said that either tax increases or sizable cuts in defense outlays would surely be required. The prospect, then, is for a protracted struggle between Capitol Hill and the White House, with each side accusing the other of irresponsibility. Nothing much new about that. But this time, under the provisions of the budget-balancing law, stalemate will produce automatic cuts spread equally between domestic programs and military spending, and President Reagans proposed budget for 1987, which is to go to Congress in February, will be the first on which the five-year plan will be tested.
