API urged the administration to reconsider its position, as outlined by a White House spokesman today, that Congress should leave crude oil export decisions to the Commerce Department.

Comments from API

鶹ýӳThe administration has an opportunity to demonstrate leadership by opening the door to US exports, creating new jobs, helping American families, and strengthening America鶹ýӳs position as an energy superpower,鶹ýӳ said API President and CEO, Jack Gerard.

鶹ýӳLawmakers are right to ask why US producers shouldn鶹ýӳt have the same access to global markets that the administration would give Iran. Failing to lift the 1970s era ban on crude oil exports could throw away a major opportunity to build US energy security and generate significant savings for consumers, according to numerous major economic analysis 鶹ýӳ including the administration鶹ýӳs own report by the US Energy Information Administration. Exports also strengthen the security of our allies by providing an alternative to imports from hostile nations. Fortunately, bipartisan support in the House and Senate continue to grow, and we鶹ýӳre optimistic that legislators will continue to make this issue a top priority in the days ahead.鶹ýӳ
