「ニューヨーク・タイムス」では、8日（月）にニューメキシコに行くとなっていましたが、地元テレビ局のこの放送では、8日の夜にテキサスに戻ってきたとなっています。予定を変更したのでしょうかね？ テレビ放送も見れるはずです。

Bush Returns To Central Texas After New Mexico Trip
President Comments On Sweeping Energy Legislation
President Bush returned to Central Texas Monday evening after flying to New Mexico to sign legislation to overhaul the nation's energy policies.
The trip was the first of several Mr. Bush is scheduled to take during his traditional August working vacation at his ranch near Crawford.
The bill signing Monday ended a yearlong congressional standoff over energy policy.
Mr. Bush says the bill launches the energy strategy for the 21st century, but critics say the plan will send billions of dollars in tax subsidies to energy companies, yet do little immediately to ease
gas prices or lower reliance on foreign oil.
“The bill I sign today is a critical first step,” Mr. Bush said.
“It's a first step toward a more affordable and reliable energy future for the American citizens. This bill is not going to solve our energy challenges overnight. Most of the serious problems, such as high gasoline costs, or the rising dependence on foreign oil, have developed over decades. It's going to take years of focused effort to alleviate those problems,” he said.
As Mr. Bush signed the legislation, which even supporters acknowledge will have little short term impact on energy prices, crude oil prices reached a record high, above $63 a barrel.
The $12.3 billion energy bill gives tax breaks of $14.5 billion over 10 years for energy companies, renewable energy sources and promotion of efficiency.
It requires refiners to use 7.5 billion gallons of ethanol annually by 2012, double current production.
The bill also extends daylight-saving time by a month, beginning in 2007, sets new efficiency standards for commercial appliances, from air conditioners to refrigerators and requires utilities to meet federal reliability standards for the electric transmission grid, aimed at preventing blackouts such as the one in the summer of 2003.
The bill eases the way for more imports of liquefied natural gas by giving federal regulators final say over import terminals, provides $1 billion for coastal environmental management in states including Texas where there is offshore oil production, and provides loan guarantees and other subsidies for clean energy technologies and new nuclear reactors.
It also funds a $1.8 billion program to promote clean coal research and development and requires an inventory of offshore oil and gas resources, including areas now off limits to drilling.
