security. . . .
The president’s decision was prompted by work on
energy-related issues in the House and Senate by Texas
able congressmen, U.S. Rep. Jack . Fields and Sens.
Lloyd Bentsen and Phil Gramm.
At Congressman Fields’ request, the House endorsed
a provision calling on President Reagan to assess na-
tional security implications of the domestic oil industry
problems, and it was approved as part of an overall ,
budget-reduction bill. . r
Bentsen and Gramm authored Seriate measures
designed to focus the administration’s and the nation’s
interest on energy-related problems, specifically the ef-
fects of the oil'industry crisis. -
Bentsen’s bill would require the president to submit a
comprehensive energy policy plan by year’s end.
Gramm’s legislation calls for, among other things, a
study of effects of an oil industry import fee,*which
many Texans believe would help solve the problem.
