Curtis and Hruska clash over oil import quotas in Senate
In Washington, Gov. Kenneth Curtis of Maine pressed a Senate subcommittee to ease oil import quotas, arguing they raise nationwide petroleum prices and hurt New England heating costs. Sen. Roman Hruska warned relaxing imports could shutter Nebraska oil wells. Occidental Petroleum urged a Machiasport refinery using Libyan oil in a free foreign trade zone. Curtis noted over 70 percent of New England homes heat with oil, paying high prices in a tough winter.
