Bush: Don't Tap Reserve; Blame Clinton-Gore for Oil Prices
UPI
Friday, Sept. 22, 2000
CLEVELAND – George W. Bush called Al Gore's proposal Thursday to tap the nation's strategic petroleum reserve a campaign ploy to drive down oil prices. He blamed the Clinton-Gore administration for soaring energy prices.
The "bad pubic policy" would risk "long-term national security," Texas Gov. Bush said.

"The strategic reserve is an insurance policy meant for a sudden disruption of our energy supply or for war," Bush said while meeting with area high-tech workers from a start-up firm, Thermagon Inc.

"The strategic reserve should not be used as an attempt to drive down oil prices right before an election," said Bush, the GOP presidential nominee.

"It should not be used for short-tem political gain at the cost of long-term national security."
