Dear Honorable Kanjorski:
I recently read your latest e-mail concerning your bill to tax the oil companies and I was disappointed in that you did not lead the way to increase supply of oil and develop a compressive plan to make this country energy secure.
As you already know that only 40% of a barrel of oil is used for fuel, that means we are tied to oil in a lot of different ways. Taxing the oil companies will not increase supply. As a result of the congress current policies food prices are rising and the cost of transportation is skyrocketing. I was hope that you would introduce a bill that would outline how we are going to fix the problem. We need to drill for oil here in the states, we need to develop legislation that will encourage government agencies to develop economically solar energy designs, develop our coal resources, such as coal gasification, increase our nuclear energy and develop wave energy technology and other sources of energy.
We need positive action from congress, not election year politics. I know you are the person to spear head this action.
Sincerely yours;
Joseph T. Michonski
