Administration of U.S.A. is sure that OPEC will increase deliveries of petroleum

/IRBIS, March 20, 00/ - ITAR TASS informs that the U.S.A. administration is sure that it will manage to convince OPEC to increase petroleum deliveries on the world markets and to bring down the oil prices. "The question is as big the increase will be. We hope that it will be impressive and the petroleum will go on the world markets in a short time" - B. Richardson, the minister of power of U.S.A. has declared on Sunday. With the purposes of the "explanatory" work continuation, Richardson in the nearest hours leaves on meeting with the representatives of Algeria, Indonesia. The U.S.A legislators have prepared the administration bill, which provides the sanctions against those who will refuse the Washington's requests. The Minister does not consider necessary to drill the additional holes in California and Florida that could, as he said, result in the ecological problems. Some other representatives of administration do not exclude any alternatives, including use of the strategic petroleum reserves. Last time they have been utilized during Persian Gulf War in 1990.
