“We earlier distributed material which referred to oil which was in an earlier draft. I have been in contact with the environmental community, and so forth. It is clear to me at this point in time that we have in this bill just gas. My fervent hope and belief is that the environmental community will see the advancements in technology and the tremendous requirements of this country for natural gas, that we can restrict it to gas. At a later time, if we are successful in proving that the natural gas can be drawn and is safe, which I am confident we can do, maybe due to world circumstances and domestic circumstances we could go back at that time and revisit the issue of oil. I thank the Senator.”
