(January 12, 2023) WASHINGTON, D.C. — Rep. Tom Kean, Jr. (R-NJ) issued the following statement after voting in support of the Protecting America’s Strategic Petroleum Reserve from China Act (H.R. 22):
“Over the past two years, we learned the hard way the harsh impact an Anti-American energy agenda can have on prices at the gas pump. The resources available to us here at home need to be used here at home, and certainly not shipped abroad to help China’s bottom line at our expense. American energy production is now among the most efficient and economical in the world, we must keep those resources on our shores.”
H.R. 22 prevents the Secretary of Energy from selling any products from the Strategic Petroleum Reserves (SPR) to any entity owned or under the control or influence of the Chinese Communist Party or to any other entity that intends to export the products to China.
