Influenced by a car tell. Its clear who gains from this scenario the Oil Exploration and production companies, many of which are foreign owned. With all the crude coming out of north dakota, wyoming, texas, pennsylvania and other states helping to push prices down, these Companies Want to lift the ban and sell u. S. Crude on the Global Market at higher prices largely determined by opec.

In in fact, according to barclays plc, lifting the export ban would stop the decline in u. S. Crude prices and cost american motorists as much as 10 billion a year in higher prices at the pump. Our countrys refinery workers also stand to lose from lifting export limits. Some recent history can help explain why.

Documents from our committee. However, there is simply no constitutional basis that this is applicable to the documents in question. Finally i note excessive travel is of concern. Im going to ask you about your travel. Its been difficult to schedule oversight hearings because one or the other is somewhere in the world. Im mist satisfied as to why the travel records provided to me are marked nonpublic. I plan to ask questions about the lack of transparency. And scheduling of your travels.

Lets go to a second question and that is given the way in which this nexus crosses two communities, the Law Enforcement community and the National Security community, are we effectively organized to deal with these problems and the special issues of this nexus and how should we be changing our organization nationally or internationally to be dealing with these issues. Any thoughts from the panelists . We should not go to knee jerk reactions when a major disaster happens and ill give you an example. Back in the days of my partnership of trying to bridge that gap between intel and Law Enforcement and Work Together, during that time we had an Organization Called the organized crime operation. S group. Case officers from the cia, i had about 15, at any given time 15 to 20 fbi agents and analysts assigned there fulltime. It was very successful. With regard to Human Trafficking internationally, we did two renditions in that program for Major International human smugglers working together. 9
