Washington, D.C.
 – NOIA President Randall Luthi issued the following statement cheering omnibus spending bill language lifting the ban on U.S. crude oil exports

“NOIA is pleased to see language included in the omnibus that will lift the crude oil export ban, a relic of the 1970s that has created an unfair situation for American consumers and our country – both economically and from a national security perspective.  By passing this legislation and lifting the ban, Congress will set the stage for economic growth, stronger national security, and benefits to consumers all across the U.S.”
