U.S. Congressman John Culberson : 7th District of Texas

United States Congressman John Culberson 7th District of Texas

Before the end of the fiscal year, Congress should:

Vote on energy legislation that will make us less dependent on foreign oil
Fully fund our troops in Iraq and Afghanistan
Extend tax credits that are set to expire
Pass a fiscally responsible budget for FY2009

COUNTDOWN TO OPEN DRILLING

On September 30th, the current prohibitions on oil and gas leasing on most of the Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) and on oil shale leasing on federal lands will expire, unless Congress votes to extend them. Bringing domestic resources online and increasing the supply of gasoline will lower prices at the pump, and I am ready to do what is necessary to reduce our dependence on foreign oil. According to a law enacted in 1982, the moratorium must be renewed each year or it expires.

President Bush lifted the Presidential ban in July and it is now Congress’ turn to let these shortsighted prohibitions expire. I will actively oppose any attempt to extend them, as exploration and production of our resources here at home is the first step towards energy independence.
