     SEC. __. SENSE OF CONGRESS REGARDING PRESIDENTIAL AUTHORITY 
                   TO ALLOW SALE OF DOMESTIC CRUDE OIL TO UNITED 
                   STATES ALLIES AND TRADING PARTNERS.

       It is the sense of Congress that the President may lawfully 
     exercise statutory authorities to allow the sale of 
     domestically produced crude oil to allies and trading 
     partners of the United States, consistent with the call of 
     the National Security Strategy of the President to ``promote 
     diversification of energy fuels, sources, and routes''.
