# 22 House members urge revocation of General License 135

Date: 2026

On 15 October 2026 a bipartisan group of 22 House members sent a letter to [President Trump](/people/mig-donald-trump), Secretary of State [Marco Rubio](/people/marco-rubio) and Treasury Secretary [Scott Bessent](/people/scott-bessent) asking them to revoke General License 135 on Russian diesel. Citing the late Senator [Lindsey Graham](/people/lindsey-graham), the signatories argued the license reopens Russian energy trade and restores revenue to the Kremlin, and urged full use of the 2026 Graham sanctions law.
