WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The Speaker of the House of Representatives on Thursday called on the White House to temporarily stop sending crude oil into the nation's emergency stockpile.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi told reporters she was calling on President George W. Bush to work with Democrats to find a way to "temporarily suspend" oil deliveries to the Strategic Petroleum Reserve.
The White House immediately rejected the plea. "We don't believe the fill rates have a meaningful impact on oil supplies," White House spokesman Scott Stanzel said.
"We continue to fill the reserve to provide an added layer of protection to the American people in cases of severe supply disruption."
Pelosi said suspending deliveries would save drivers 5 cents to 24 cents per gallon at the pump.
As U.S. benchmark crude oil prices hit a record near $120 a barrel this week, the Bush administration insists that filling the reserve accounts for less than one-tenth of 1 percent of daily supply, and has no meaningful effect on prices.

Seems like a fair idea to me.
Pelosi said suspending deliveries would save drivers 5 cents to 24 cents per gallon at the pump.
The woman has no clue. The oil companies would simply raise their prices by whatever amount was saved.
Pissing on a full blown forest fire.
I thought Ms. Nancy was going to tell Bush to drill ANWR! Sucks Nancy I had so much hope.
Again, another Thank You to the 2006 voters for putting this radical STUPID MORON in charge of the House along with her majority.
Yes, there are voters that want to put these STUPID SOCIALISTS into the White House as well. Hey Nancy, maybe we could sell all of our military equipment too, lay off all of our service people and then we could add those dollars to the amount of money you can spend on illegals, earmarks, and other gross wasteful government spending TO BUY POWER AND VOTES.
What a DOLT -— Wake Up America — Look at what you have done.
Oops, that would cut into Social Give Aways.
It’s of a piece with Pelosi’s whole approach to national security - leave us as naked to our enemies as possible on all fronts.
And this nitwit is still two heartbeats away from the Presidency.
This is really too good for her.
Why put oil in the ground when Canada Montana is loaded with enough for a hundred years?
She doesn’t want it there for him to dump to collapse oil prices just before the election.
“Pelosi said suspending deliveries would save drivers 5 cents to 24 cents per gallon at the pump.”
For about an hour on next Wednesday between the hours of 0300 and 0330.
Agreed...she hasn’t a clue.
How would adding a few thousand barrels of oil a day to the market lower prices when drilling ANWR supposedly wouldn’t?
