'Wait Till Next Year' Is Theme of House Energy Committee Staff Director's Address to Roundtable

摘要

Alluding to the comprehensive energy bill currently stalled in Congress,63 Bill Cooper, the Staff Director of the House Energy and Minerals Subcommittee, forewarned the Natural Gas Roundtable on November 29 not to expect much from the conference process in the waning days of December. There has been a welter of proposals and counterproposals on the "bigger pieces being kicked around," he indicated, though "without gaining a lot of traction;" hence, he's "not sure we can get there in the time we have left."
