History Lesson: How Calhoon Insured Alaskan Oil was Carried on U.S. Flag Ships

In this third program in the series, Balzano documents the important role played by Jess Calhoon during the Reagan administration in martialing the support for maintaining the 1973 ban on Alaskan oil exports, thus insuring the oil would continue to be shipped on U.S. Flag ships.
