Was it drawing from the SPR or just quit filling the SPR.

Could be. Or neither. I will look for more references out on the web. It may have never actually happened and was just a proposal.

It was just quit filling it.
Jimma Cahta actually pulled from it.

It was to refrain from filling a pretty full reserve and diverting that oil into the refining bottleneck.

Net effect was a brief pshycological tick with the oil and gasoline traders and speculators , on the order of an afternoon.

Quit filling it during the summer months. We have adequate amount in SPR to keep our military and critical services running. The SPR is not a backup for the civilian/business community.
