Aspin accuses USGS of masking Gulf gas reserves
Rep. Les Aspin charges the U S Geological Survey with lowering Gulf of Mexico gas estimates to aid deregulation efforts. He cites a drop from 160 5 million to 43 2 million cubic feet per day at a field, claiming the new figure makes company output appear larger relative to the limit. An agency spokesman denies the charge and cites declining Gulf reserves.
