DescriptionARLINGTON -- John McCain today called for the federal moratorium on offshore drilling and oil exploration to be lifted. He said that states that want to permit drilling should have the ability to move forward.

Americans, McCain said during a press conference at his campaign headquarters, are enduring "very significant economic challenges and pain" due to the rising cost of gasoline.

"We must embark on a national mission to reduce dependence on foreign oil," McCain said.

McCain also reiterated his call for a gas tax holiday.
