RUFUS - President John McCallum has landed in Nox City, North Lorray where he will discuss an agreement to reopen a major oil pipeline that runs throughout the entirety of Nox City. Officials from Nox City City Hall, North Lorray's Governor's Office, and Federal Government Officials will meet in Nox City to discuss plans to reopen and create a long-term plan to keep it open.
"The Nox City oil pipeline is an important piece of infrastructure to the United States Of Jesstopia, and without our country will pay astronomical prices of oil imports," said President McCallum. "The future of our country's oil industry rides on his pipeline. We need to find an adequate solution to the problem, before our country is paying top dollar for an essential compound, oil."
The meetings will take place over three meetings and throughout the one week that he will be in North Lorray. The meeting will also include Federal officials including Department of Interior officials, Jesstopian Environmental Protection Agency, and several major oil companies. These meetings will work to establish a strong agreement between the landowners, oil companies and federal officials to pump Jesstopian oil and lower the cost of fuel for consumers.
"We look forward to working with President McCallum to establish a strong agreement between both oil executives, and our state to ensure that we can provide cheap gas for consumers well into the future," said Governor Linda Lee. "As President McCallum has said, this pipeline plays a key role not only to the North Lorray's economy, but to the federal economy as well and we must protect this valuable asset."
The oil executives that will be involved in the talks include Best Oil, Charge Oil Corp, and Babbit, Cobbs and Davis Oil Industries. They will negotiate for the pipeline to be handed over to them, in return, agreeing to work with the federal government, who will regulate the oil that is pulled from the pipeline.
Furthermore, President McCallum says he is hopeful that a tangible agreement can be signed before he leaves office in November. Congress would still need to agree to sign over some ownership of the pipeline, but that concerns some Congress members.
"I don't think handing over parts of a 'Federal" pipeline is the best idea, especially seeing as part of it will be handed over to oil executives who could somewhat call the shots on what happens with the pipeline," said House Speaker Gretchen LeWolf. "We must maintain control of federal assets, which in turn will allow us to regulate the lower costs of fuel at the pumps."
