You have once again not read your link.
Are you denying that in late 96 (campaign season) and early 97 Clinton was selling oil out of the reserve, without replacing it, in order to make the budget numbers look better.
.
That is what the last 2 paragraphs of your link says.
Selling our emergency supplies for short term vote buying,
utterly disgusting....
I suppose my previously quoted post could be read to mean that Clinton emptied the reserves. drained (them dry). That is not what I am alledging
Yes I am denying just that (as Clintons motive) You might want to actually get some sort of fucking clue about that which you are so wrong about (everything) the 104th congress that passed the omibus act that was trying to make budget numbers look better, thru such artifices as selling off some strategic reserves was republican majority in house and senate, and they ordered the defense department et al to do so in that appropriations act.
I do agree that the disgusting vote buying of our emergency supplies was done by republicans trying to destroy the country.
Glad you think it is disgusting and un-american of those republicans too, and you have just convinced everyone here of your agreement on that point.
And as ususall, you are reduced to simply making stuff up.
It had nothing to do with the Omnibus act.
The congress doesn't order the DOD to do anything.
POTUS Does.
Though the Strategic Petro Reserve is part of the DOE.
The third sale was directed by the Omnibus Consolidated Appropriations Act for Fiscal Year 1997, enacted September 30, 1996, and called for the sale of $220 million worth of crude oil to offset fiscal year 1997 appropriations. On October 3, 1996, the Defense Fuel Supply Center issued a solicitation to prospective offerors requesting bids to purchase West Hackberry sour crude oil, and a small quantity of sweet crude oil in the pipeline connecting the West Hackberry site with the Sunoco Marine Terminal in Nederland, Texas. The first purchase contracts were awarded on October 24, 1996, and by December 5, 1996, the Defense Fuel Supply Center had awarded twenty contracts to seven companies for the purchase of 10.2 million barrels to yield about $220 million in revenue. The first delivery occurred on October 29, 1996 and all deliveries were completed by January 1997.
