A variety of witnesses spoke at the hearing on S. 1626, which amends regulations under the DOE Reorganization Act and Amendments relating to petroleum pipelines that may be counterproductive by eliminating competition within the transportation sector. Farm groups and independent refiners were among those arguing against deregulation. At issue was whether pipelines constitute a monopoly and whether competition would improve prices. The hearing record includes the text of S. 1626, the testimony of 16 witnesses, and two appendices with additional questions and statements submitted for the record. (DCK)
