In a Marketplace article by Lily Jamali, Jerry McGinn quoted on use of the Defense Production Act to increase oil and gas production.
"It’s also not clear if this moment qualifies as a national emergency. That’s a requirement for tapping the Defense Production Act," according to Jerry McGinn, a former acting deputy assistant secretary of defense whose portfolio included the DPA.
“Yes, the price of gas is really high. But domestic oil production is not threatened,” McGinn said.
