General Accounting Office Assessment Of Factors Affecting The Availability Of U.S. Oil Supplies From The Caribbean Despite the unrest in neighborLng Central America, the Caribbean is considered to be a more secure source of oil than the Middle East. It has substantial oil reserves and the United States represents a natural market for Caribbean oil. However, availability of future Caribbean oil supplies depends large- ly on the individual Caribbean countries' perceptions of their economic and political self-interests. Their decisions may or may not coincide with U.S. needs for assured supplies of oil, Thus, the ability and will- ingness of individual Caribbean countries to sustain or increase oil supplies to the United States should not be taken for granted, 02\XA I/1, _ ,I 127893 GAO/NSIAD-85-127 SEPTEMBER 13, 1985
