Oil for Iraq Liberation Act Announcement



Rep. Dennis Kucinich

 

Washington, Jul 30, 2008 -

Congressman Dennis Kucinich (D-OH) will hold a press conference on the Oil for Iraq Liberation Act tomorrow morning on the Cannon Terrace. 

The Oil for Iraq Liberation bill will prevent U.S. based oil companies from development of and investment in petroleum resources of Iraq.

“Recently we have seen evidence of a concerted effort to pressure the Iraqi government into privatizing Iraqi oil fields against the will of its citizens. We have also heard that certain high level architects of the Iraq war stand to gain financially. This bill will ensure that the Iraqi oil money stays out of the hands of U.S. oil companies who would otherwise benefit from the US attack on and occupation of Iraq.”

 

The conference will be:

Thursday, July 31, 2008 at 11:00 a.m. on the Cannon Terrace, intersection of
Independence and New Jersey Avenue
