A concurrent resolution to request the President to provide economic assistance to Mexico while enhancing the national security and energy preparedness of the United States by further filling the Strategic Petroleum Reserve with petroleum obtained from Mexico.

Summary

Expresses the sense of the Congress that the President should: (1) purchase petroleum from Mexico for the Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR) by using the total amount in the SPR Petroleum Account that is available for petroleum products acquisition; and (2) submit a plan to the Congress for a $1,500,000,000 loan to Mexico to be repaid, with interest, with petroleum for the SPR. Urges such a plan to offset in the Federal budget the amount of the loan outlay by reducing certain Department of Defense expenditures.
