House Fails To Hold U.S. From Arab Boycott and Oil Swap
The House approved a bill extending the Export Administration Act and barring U.S. firms from backing the Arab boycott of Israel while giving the president authority to veto Alaska oil exports to Japan for 60 days. The measure, 306 to 41, sets a $14 million authorization and aims to calm Arab and energy policy disputes with a two year oil export pause, a swap option with Japan, and potential tanker moves if pipelines fail.
