PMAA officer Gerry Ramm of Inland Oil Company in Ephrata, WA, will testify once again before Congress regarding the impact of excessive speculation in the energy commodity markets on petroleum and heating oil marketers. On Friday, July 11, Gerry will testify before the committee of jurisdiction for resolving this problem, the House Agriculture Committee.

The Full Committee hearing on Amending the Commodity Energy Act is part of a series of hearings that the committee will hold this week to examine energy market manipulation and the state of the oil and gas markets and their impact on consumers as well as to solicit testimony and review some of the numerous bills that have been introduced to address the problem.

Witness lists for the hearings will not be released until 24 hours before each hearing. The hearing on Wednesday will begin at 2:30 p.m., and the hearings on Thursday and Friday will begin at 10:00 a.m. All hearings will take place in 1300 Longworth House Office Building.
