Whereas there is a known shortage of refinery capacity in the 
United States and we are unable to process enough sup-

Whereas the United States is forced to import approximately 
1,000,000 barrels of crude oil each day; 
Whereas crude oil prices are currently at $75 per barrel with 
no drop in that price in the foreseeable future; 
Whereas the profits of American oil companies are reaching 
record highs;

ing additional refining capacity on existing refinery cam-

rent high price of gasoline.
