Pelosi says case needed for U.S. offshore drilling
Rep. James Clyburn of South Carolina, the House majority whip, told CNN on Sunday that a separate up-or-down vote on expanded offshore drilling is unlikely when Congress returns next month.
"There's going to be a vote on an energy program of which I think offshore drilling will be a part," he said.
