WASHINGTON, June 13 (UPI) -- Congressional Republicans Saturday called for increased offshore drilling to be part of the nation's energy plan, the GOP said in its weekly radio address.
House Republican Conference Chairman Mike Pence of Indiana, delivering the address, took aim at the climate change bill introduced by Reps. Henry Waxman, D-Calif., and Ed Markey, D-Mass. Their proposal has a cap-and-trade emissions regulation, which many Republicans oppose.
