Dear Mr. Joeanimal:
thank you for contacting me regarding your concerns about the price of energy. I appreciate receiving you specific comments and suggestions about this important matter. i noted, in particular, your concerns about the role of speculaters in the recent oil price increases. i certainly realize the severe hardships that are caused by the current high price of energy.
You may be interested to know that i recently sent letters to the President, the Secretary of Energy, and House leadership equesting that an emergency energy summit be convened to examine the rising cost of petrolium and gasoline. as i mention in the letter, i believe the urgency of the circumstances warrants a new bipartisan approach between Congress and Administration, experts, analyst, and business leaders.
