Bush to lift symbolic offshore oil ban
Posted: 10:19 AM ET
WASHINGTON (CNN) — President Bush will announce Monday he is lifting an executive ban on offshore oil drilling, the White House said.The move is largely symbolic because there is also a federal law banning offshore oil drilling. Bush has been pushing Congress to repeal the law passed in 1981.
Bush’s father, President George H.W. Bush, signed the executive order in 1990.
