                  Effort To Allow US Oil Exports Sparks Debate

   by Jim Randle

   Proposed legislation to end a decades-long ban on exporting most
   U.S.-produced crude oil is sparking sharp debate in Washington and the
   energy industry. One oil company chief says the outdated rules hurt his
   company and keep the U.S. economy vulnerable to foreign oil producers.
   But ban supporters say ending it would boost consumer energy prices and
   hurt the environment. As VOA's Jim Randle reports, one bill to end the
   ban has been introduced in the House, another is expected in the
   Senate.
