“I have heard several Members come down to the floor and talk about FISA and talk about this is not part of the bill; we are supposed to be here to debate energy. In fact, what the gentleman from Florida is talking about is that we have a responsibility here in the Congress to protect the American people, and our military commanders say we need this, this FISA extended, a permanent extension, so that we can continue to watch over terrorists that are trying to call in and out of our country. This is imperative that we get this done. And so when you start to look at what are we doing here today talking about this energy bill, well, this is once again one of these energy bills where we are just going to tax the American consumer. We are going to tax domestic oil producers. And this bill has no chance to make it through the Senate. This bill has no chance to become law. So why would we be here today when we are on day 11, as Mr. Hoekstra said earlier, we are day 11 where we have not been able to surveil terrorists that are trying to call in and out of this country, but instead we are debating an energy bill that taxes domestic oil producers, taxes big oil companies, and leaves a glaring loophole so that Hugo Chavez's CITGO still continues to get tax breaks.”
