US House Republicans Plan Energy Action in June

[newyawker99]

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The U.S. House of Representatives will take up energy legislation in June to tame record-high gasoline prices and boost domestic crude oil production, House Speaker Dennis Hastert said on Friday.

With average nationwide gasoline prices above $2 a gallon as U.S. drivers hit the roads for the Memorial Day holiday and the start of the summer driving season, the time is ripe for action, Hastert said.

"The House will act once again next month on common-sense legislation to make America less dependent on foreign oil, to reduce prices at the gas pump and on home utility bills," Hastert said in a statement. His office did not elaborate.

Republican efforts regarding energy legislation could begin as soon as next week and could focus on additional action on comprehensive energy legislation the chamber passed a year ago, congressional sources said.
