MANCHESTER, NH- 1st District Congressional Candidate John Stephen today praised U.S. Senator Judd Gregg for his sponsoring the "American Energy Production Act of 2008," which would remove many of the restrictions on domestic oil and gas production and allow the United States to produce up an additional 24 billion barrels of oil.  The legislation also suspends filling the Strategic Petroleum Reserve for 180 days.  In addition, the act removes restriction on biomass and other alternative energy sources.  The bill is expected to come for a full vote on Monday.

GREGG COSPONSORS AMENDMENT TO REDUCE GAS PRICES AND DECREASE DEPENDENCE ON FOREIGN OIL

            WASHINGTON – U.S. Senator Judd Gregg (R-NH) has cosponsored an amendment to address rising gas prices and reduce America’s dependence on foreign sources of oil by expanding the focus of our nation’s energy policy to domestic production of both traditional and alternative energy sources. The American Energy Production Act of 2008, on which the amendment is based, will produce up to 24 billion barrels of oil domestically and expand our nation’s commitment to renewable sources and advanced energy technologies.  This amendment is pending on the flood insurance bill currently being considered by the Senate and has been scheduled for a vote by the full Senate on Monday, May 12, 2008.
