‘What Political Nonsense’: Brad Sherman Denounces GOP Bill To Stop Selling Oil Reserve to China

Washington, D.C. - During House floor remarks, Congressman Brad Sherman (D-CA) spoke about HR 22, the "Protecting America's Strategic Petroleum Reserve From China" Act.

"What political nonsense this bill is," exclaimed Sherman. "It allows an American oil company to buy oil from the SPR on Monday and sell it to China on Tuesday, which means it's fine for them to see SPR oil going to China as long as an American oil company makes a little money out of it."

"We need to ban the exports of natural gas when prices are too high for American consumers," Sherman concluded.
