(OPEN):
ACCORDING TO A-P-I, THE ENERGY BILL PASSED BY THE
HOUSE--AND WHICH NOW GOES TO THE SENATE--DUCKS AN OPPORTUNITY TO CREATE
BALANCED LEGISLATION THAT WOULD ENSURE RELIABLE ENERGY SUPPLIES FOR
AMERICAN CONSUMERS. THE GROUP BELIEVES THAT FALLING SHORT ON THE
NATION'S ENERGY NEEDS WOULD LIKELY EXACT A HEAVY ECONOMIC TOLL, CAUSE
SIGNIFICANT JOB LOSSES, AND FOSTER A DECLINE IN SPENDING POWER, FOR ALL

(FELMY):
"THE HOUSE BILL DOES NOTHING TO IMPROVE OUR NATION'S ENERGY
SECURITY. THE 21-BILLION-DOLLAR TAX PROVISION IS

REJECT THIS ILL-ADVISED LEGISLATION--AND START OVER, ON A BALANCED,
RATIONAL ENERGY POLICY THAT PROMOTES EFFICIENCY AND PRODUCTION OF ALL
FORMS OF ENERGY."
