Domenici May Try to Attach Slimmed-Down Energy Bill to TEA-21 Reauthorization
Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee Chairman Pete Domenici (R-N.M.) may seek to add a revised energy bill to the transportation reauthorization measure now being debated in the chamber, an aide says.
Marnie Funk, spokesperson for the energy committee says that attaching the energy bill to the transportation bill is "certainly a strategy that we're looking at." She adds that Domenici plans to attach a "leaner" energy measure "to any legislation that has 'legs' this spring, and the highway bill looks to be one of those."
