[From the moderator: Could someone substantiate this e-mail?] "My legislation, the Iran Refined Petroleum Sanctions Act, strikes at Iran's Achilles' heel: the country's reliance on refined petroleum imports for its domestic economy. Despite its vast crude oil resources, Iran has limited refining capabilities and depends on gasoline imports for approximately 30 percent of its domestic consumption. Pressuring suppliers to reduce their exports of fuel to Iran could force the regime to choose between the fuel on which its economy depends and its expensive nuclear program. My bill, which I introduced with Sens. Joe Lieberman (I-Conn.) and Jon Kyl (R-Ariz.), would give the president expanded authority to ban foreign firms from doing any business in the United States if they are involved in exporting gasoline or other refined petroleum products or equipment to Iran." -Sen. Evan Bayh (D-IN) Referenced from an e-mail sent to constituents, Fri, Oct 02, 2009 02:40 PM. Apparently we're not the only one dependent on foreign petroleum products. Feb 8, 2010 8:06 AM - Is there a relationship between this bill and the Dodd-Shelby Iran Sanctions Bill?
