-Caveat Lector- >From invest.russiatoday.com Russia Sees Progress On Balkan Oil Pipeline LONDON, May 27, 1999 -- (Reuters) Russian, Bulgarian and Greek government ministers will meet in Moscow in July to approve a trans- Balkan oil pipeline project worth up to $600 million, a senior Russian energy official said on Wednesday. Deputy Fuel and Energy Minister Yelena Telyegina said approval would result in the creation of a Trans Balkan Pipeline Company to handle the 280 km (175 mile) pipeline. Telyegina told an industry conference that Russia and Greece had signed a protocol in Athens last week to help put the finishing touches to the deal. She said that the pipeline would carry an estimated 10 million to 12 million tonnes of crude a year in the first year of its operation, rising to 20 million in later stages. Project costs were expected to be up to $600 million, with $200 million of this yet to be found, she said. The underground pipeline is to carry Russian crude to Alexandroupolis in northeastern Greece from Bourgas in Bulgaria. The Bulgarian port would be fed with crude by tanker from the Russian Black Sea port of Novorossiysk.

Yet, this threat is virtually ignored by our government and is practically unknown to the public," said Congressman Roscoe Bartlett (R-6-RD) announcing a hearing on Tuesday, June 1 beginning at 12:00 noon at the Applied Physics Lzab (APL) of the Johns Hopkins University in Laurel, Maryland. Congressman Bartlett chairs the U.S. House of Representatives Subcommittee on Government Programs and Oversight of the Committee on Small Business. "A member of the Russian Duma recently told me, 'you know if we really wanted to hurt you, we would set off an atomic weapon at high altitude above your country and produce an EMP that would destroy your entire elecrical power grid, computers, and telcommunications infrstructure including satellites,'" said Congressman Bartlett. "This was not a surprise to me -but it is to most Americans. In light of concerns about the proliferation of nuclear weapon and missile technology by rouge nations, I believe it's imperative that our government tak steps to defend agains EMP. As with Y2K, the public and businesses need to be informed about what steps they should take to prvent or minimize damage from EMP." The hearing will be held in the Parsons Auditorium at APL located at 11100 Johns Hopkins Road off Rt. 29 (Colesville Road) 10 miles north of the Capital Beltway (Rt 495); for details via internet: http://222.jhuapl.edu/program/transport/trans.htm.
