WASHINGTON, Feb 1 (Reuters) - U.S. senators may look to
add Iran and Russia to a U.S. House-passed bill that stops
releases of oil from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve from being
sold to China, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer said on
Wednesday.
Schumer, asked by a reporter about bringing the bill to
floor said, "I've seen the House proposal," Schumer said
following a closed weekly meeting of Senate Democrats: "What
about Iran? What about Russia? We may think of adding some new
countries in."
