On the recordFebruary 8, 2001
We have discussed this amendment of the Senator from California and I certainly find no objection to it. In fact, it can be a very positive contribution. The National Academy of Sciences is eminently qualified to take a look at the things this study requires. I look forward to their recommendations. I will just mention the obvious difference in creating a reserve for crude oil. We have stored crude oil in salt domes, most of which are in my State and the State of Texas, which is quite different from setting up a reserve for natural gas. I think the author understands that, but that is the purpose of asking the National Academy of Sciences to take a look at it, and perhaps they can come back with good recommendations. The amendment of the Senator from California is helpful, and we certainly support it.

I remember when I was in Congress when I wanted to stop something from happening, I used to offer an amendment to do a study, or maybe to do a demonstration program, hoping it never got completed.
