Bill Richardson Petroleum Quotations

We have worked with refiners to help them with transportation, with numerous other logistical initiatives so that they can get more product into the market, ... I will be meeting next week with refiners, with petroleum executives, with many others -- heating oil suppliers, to ensure that we get this product reserve into the market.

We will use the Strategic Petroleum Reserve if there is a severe energy-supply disruption threatening our nation's security.

The strategic petroleum reserve is used for national supply emergencies for a really rainy day. This is a price problem. We don't want to manipulate energy markets.
