WASHINGTON, Sept. 22 -- Sen. Tom Cotton issued the following press release:
Senator Tom Cotton (R-Arkansas) today introduced legislation to lower gas prices for Arkansans by cutting costs and increasing domestic production. The Supply Relief and Domestic Production Cost Reduction Act would cap onshore royalties, cut lease and permitting-related costs, and increase domestic production for 180 days when fuel prices, inventories, production constraints, or other emergencies indicate supply stress.
"Arkansans are rightfully feeling pressure at the pump. My bill would lower prices by cutting red tape and boosting American energy production," said Senator Cotton.
