“Some seem to believe that we should negotiate with the terrorists and radicals, as if some ingenious argument will persuade them they have been wrong all along,” Bush said. “We have heard this foolish delusion before. As Nazi tanks crossed into Poland in 1939, an American senator declared: ‘Lord, if I could only have talked to Hitler, all this might have been avoided.’”
To applause, Bush told the audience, “We have an obligation to call this what it is - the false comfort of appeasement, which has been repeatedly discredited by history.”

Washington, D.C. - Last night the Senate approved a measure that
suspends deposits of domestic crude oil into the U.S. Strategic
Petroleum Reserve (SPR). U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Dole was a cosponsor of the
Senate version of this bill, which also passed the Senate on Tuesday by
a vote of 97-1.

“Temporarily halting deposits to the reserve can provide some
much-needed relief at the pump because of an increased supply of oil
available for refinement, and it also sends a strong signal to the
market that our government will take action,” said Dole. “This is one
important step that the president should enact immediately to help
families, businesses and their budgets.”

The SPR was established in 1975 to provide crude oil during times of
severe supply disruptions. Halting deposits to the SPR will not
jeopardize national security because the reserve currently contains more
than 701 million barrels, exceeding the necessary 90-day supply.

The legislation, which was approved by the House of Representatives and
the Senate, now goes to the president.

Background

On April 29, 2008, Dole and 15 of her colleagues wrote to the president,
calling on the Administration to immediately stop depositing domestic
crude oil into the SPR, citing record oil prices and its impact on the
economy.

Worried about gas prices hitting $4 a gallon and beyond? Imagine if they were $6, $7 or even $8 a gallon. Those levels are a certain possibility should Congress pass cap-and-trade legislation, which could face a vote in early June.
