McClellan said the administration has been in regular contact with major oil producing countries to stress the importance of letting the market determine the prices of oil.

"What we need are comprehensive solutions, not patchwork crisis management," the spokesman said.

"We wouldn't be in this situation right now if Congress had acted on what the president had proposed three years ago," he said.
