US Congressman Peter Welch
Washington, DC – The U.S. House passed legislation
authored by Rep. Peter Welch (D-VT) Tuesday evening
directing the Bush Administration to temporarily suspend
shipments to the Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR)
as a short-term action to lower gas prices for consumers.
The Strategic Petroleum Reserve Fill Suspension and
Consumer Protection Act of 2008, H.R. 6022,
sponsored by Welch, Nick Lampson (D-TX) and Edward
Markey (D-MA), directs President Bush to suspend
shipments to the SPR through the end of the year or until
prices drop below $75 per barrel.
This action could reduce gas prices by 5 to 24 cents per
gallon, according to experts.
The legislation cleared the U.S. House as gas prices
reached a record high of $3.73 per gallon.
