The President's Talking Points

Presidential Talking Points for the 5:30 Meeting on May 1 Energy Action

1. Rog Morton, I understand that Frank [Zarb] and others have been working around the clock with the Congress to reach some compromises on our energy program. Before discussing the options paper I think Frank should bring us up to date on these discussions.

2. Would anyone else like to add their views on the current situation?

3. Frank, why don't you go over the options in the paper and generally describe the advantages and disadvantages of each?
