Congress Leader Backs Fallin Energy Plan

Republican Whip Roy Blunt is backing a bill introduced by Congresswoman Mary Fallin that would expedite the permitting and approval process for energy exploration on leased federal lands.

"The Fallin plan would immediately add new energy supply to the pipeline, and trigger an immediate price reduction at the pump," Blunt said. "Unfortunately for the American people, today we wasted valuable floor time on the (Democrats' plan) instead of working together in a serious way to pass (Fallin's plan)."
