Daschle

Senate Democrats Tom Daschle (D-SD), Jeff Bingman (D-NM) and John Breaux (D-LA) are urging the Bush administration to reconsider its opposition to the natural gas price-floor tax subsidy provision for Alaska producers in the Senate energy bill and the mandated southern route for the Alaska pipeline. Without these measures the Alaska pipeline will not be built, the Democrats said in a letter to Bush.
