DEBATE - The House proceeded with 10 minutes of debate on the Holt motion to recommit with instructions. The instructions contained in the motion seek to require the bill to be reported back to the House with an amendment to require each oil and gas leasing program in the underlying bill to specify that all oil and natural gas produced from such leases under the program, is offered for sale in the United States and not exported. It would also require the Secretary of Interior, in developing a 5-year oil and gas leasing program, to seek to reduce the number of nonproducing offshore oil and gas leases by 50 percent by 2017.
