The U.S. energy agenda for 1992 consists mainly of one bill in Congress, and it may be too large for Congress to swallow. This paper reports that inspired by the Bush administration's program to revamp U.S. energy policy, congressional committees last year dumped all their energy legislation into single packages. Now those omnibus bills are in jeopardy. The Senate bill was derailed, largely over the issue of leasing the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR) Coastal Plain. A House energy subcommittee has drafted an energy package, but the full energy and commerce committees will defer action until the Senate passes a bill.
