"it is important to understand this fact:

The ban by the U.S. Congress on off-shore drilling has to be imposed every fiscal year and is scheduled to expire Sept. 30, 2008."

Why does it "have to be imposed every fiscal year?" How about a little background? Who started this and when? Was it Carter, Reagan? Bush I? Clinton? Bush II?

Good questions. Bump.
