=09 =09 Dear Eric, Tuesday could be a pivotal day for energy on Capito= l Hill. Washington Bureau Chief Peter Cook says a cloture vote on the Sena= te floor could effectively kill efforts by some Senate Republicans to force= a comprehensive energy bill to the floor. Republicans are trying to attac= h energy legislation to a defense-spending bill while Democrats opposing th= e move are using their control of the Senate to fight it. We'll have the v= ery latest from the Washington bureau on Tuesday. Peter also says the b= ureau will be covering a hearing Tuesday in the Senate Energy Committee to = discuss the proposed natural gas pipeline that would connect Alaska to the = lower 48 states. The witness list includes Alaska Governor Tony Knowles, F= ERC Chairman Pat Wood and Williams CEO Keith Bailey. Among other issues, S= enators are expected to question claims from the industry that the pipeline= would cost too much to build. Gas Daily Assistant Editor Nathan Hodge wil= l drop by during the 9:00 a.m. ET newscast to give us his take on where the= project stands. On Monday, Rep. Joe Barton (R) Texas and some Texas mem= bers of Congress toured the Big Hill strategic petroleum reserve site near = Beaumont, Texas. Houston Bureau Chief Myra Jolivet reports, Rep.
