On the recordApril 27, 2004
Last week, I gave a speech about what is going on in Nevada. In Nevada, we have gas prices now approaching $2.50 a gallon. If someone wants to put 4 gallons of gas in a vehicle, they have to bring a $10 bill with them to do that. I ask my friend his comments on this: Senator Ensign and I asked the Federal Trade Commission to take a look at what was going on in Nevada. They took a look and came back and said: We can't tell you why the price is that high. It is unusual, is what they said. It is unusual and they could not determine why gas prices were that high. Does the Senator agree, with the prices going haywire as they are, and the consumer being hit very hard, especially in the western part of the United States, that the Federal Trade Commission should do something more aggressively than what they have done?
