Admiral Land told a Senate Committee that he preferred the construction of a hundred oil-carrying barges as the speediest and least expensive solution of the oil shortage on the Eastern seaboard. The barges could be constructed at the rate of twenty a month and would consume only 100,000 tons of steel.
