I'm honored to be here today to join in introducing Michael Delaney, of Manchester, New Hampshire, to the Committee.

Mr. Delaney is an incredibly well-qualified candidate to serve on the Court of Appeals for the First Circuit.

His nomination for this role has been met with commendation from a wide variety of New Hampshire and national leaders.

Most of the legislation before us in committee today is merely a handout to the fossil fuel industry, poorly described as an attempt to strengthen our Nation's energy security.

To my Republican colleagues across the aisle, please take seriously my offer to work together on commonsense energy legislation and put people over politics.

While I disapprove of these misguided proposals, I remain committed to working with my Republican colleagues to find opportunities to actually deliver affordable, reliable, and domestically produced energy to the American people.

Furthering our Nation's independence--dependance on fossil fuels instead of diversifying our energy sources not only weakens our energy security, but it also harms American families by leaving them vulnerable to global energy price shocks.

I request consent for the scheduled vote to start immediately. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered. The question is, Will the Senate advise and consent to the Falk nomination?

Thank you for everything that you are doing for safety and security for people.
