Hoyer: Democrats will not reinstate offshore-drilling ban

Democrats have no intention of reinstating a ban on offshore drilling but will discuss the "parameters" of drilling, said House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer, D-Md. American Petroleum Institute spokeswoman Cathy Landry expressed some optimism but warned that Democrats may eliminate some of the country's best prospects if they mean to limit drilling within 100 miles of shore.
