House panel OKs plan to charge for escorts
The House Merchant Marine and Fisheries Committee approved a bill 32-7 to bill oil tankers escorted by U.S. warships in the Persian Gulf, aiming to save 94 million dollars. Each one way trip would cost 250 thousand dollars or the actual cost of services, with penalties for nonpayment and possible halt of protection. Supporters say it meets the budget target while avoiding a domestic Coast Guard fee. Critics warn the move implies services are for sale and could raise safety concerns.
