MS. PERINO: Well, we certainly disagree with it. We would like to see more oil on the market, not less. And that's exactly why President Bush has called on Congress, as they come back into session now after being away for a month, to take this opportunity to have an up or down vote on expanding responsible and environmentally friendly exploration here in our country.
We'd like to have more supply that we'd produce here. They have some legislation that's in front of them that would be comprehensive. It wouldn't just be about offshore oil drilling, but also look to oil shale, as well as more renewables and alternatives. So we are looking for a comprehensive energy package that can help us add more supply to the market, and diversify the supply at the same time.
