Dear Friend of GATA and Gold:

Zero Hedge's researcher, Geoffrey Batt, has just posted two declassified Carter administration documents showing that the world's trading oil in something other than dollars long has been a serious worry of the U.S. government. The Zero Hedge posting is headlined "Confidential Memos Indicate Oil SDR Pricing Shift Would Be 'Most Damaging' To United States And Precipitate 'Serious Market Reaction'" and you can find it here:
