US House Energy panel approves amendment on halt to SPR fill
Washington (Platts)--12Apr2005
The House Energy and Commerce Committee Tuesday approved an amendment that would suspend the filling of the US Strategic Petroleum Reserve until oil prices fall below $40/bbl for two consecutive weeks. The amendment to the national energy bill being marked up by the committee was approved by a voice vote. It was proposed by Representative Bart Stupak, a Michigan Democrat. Whatever bill finally emerges from the committee and is approved by the full House of Representatives will still need to be reconciled with the Senate's version later this year.
