FILE - In this Oct. 3, 2013, file photo Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee Chair Sen. Mary Landrieu, D-La. speaks at a news conference and Capitol Hill in Washington. Lithuania's energy minister pleaded with U.S. officials Tuesday to release natural gas resources into the world market to counter Russian influence in his country across Europe. Lithuania is completely dependent on Russia for natural gas and pays 30 percent more than other European countries, the energy minister told senators at a hearing Tuesday. "This is not just unfair. This is abuse.'' Landrieu held the hearing Tuesday _ her first hearing as chair of the Senate energy panel _ to focus on economic and foreign policy benefits of exporting natural gas.
