Congress Puts Plug on Strategic Petroleum Reserve

The House and Senate voted to put a halt to buying 70,000 barrels a day for the Strategic Petroleum Reserve.  Some estimates claim this could lower gas prices between 2 and 5 cents per gallon.  If the government is truly trying to do everything it can to lower gas prices, why don't they go one step further and release some or all of the 700 million barrels currently being stored in the SPR?
