Harry Reid: “I have been watching very closely since the prices, especially in the western part of the United States, have gone up.…”

On the recordMay 2, 1996
I have been watching very closely since the prices, especially in the western part of the United States, have gone up. They have gone up a lot in the State of Nevada, not as much as in the State of California, but they have gone up in the State of Nevada. I have been watching very closely, and I have not seen the oil companies come forward with an explanation of why the costs of gasoline and fuel have gone up. Has the Senator seen an explanation?
