Ship America oil bill eyed by House panel
The House Merchant Marine Committee exempted small refineries and sent to the House an oil imports bill requiring 50 percent of incoming oil to be carried by US flagships. Rep Glenn Anderson added a ship America provision for refineries importing under 90,000 barrels daily, arguing it helps small refineries compete. The panel met behind closed doors for two hours and approved two other measures to boost American shipping, facing broad opposition on the House floor. New England lawmakers fear higher fuel costs while midwesterners worry about precedent for commodities like grain.
