I would point out that our colleagues in the Senate have introduced legislation similar to our legislation here on LNG exports titled, the Freedom Through Energy Export Act, by our colleague from Alaska, Mr. Begich. I point out, too, that when it comes to domestic prosperity, the fact that this could create 45,000 job opportunities, increasing the employment in energy to 3 million people by 2020, that is prosperity and freedom. Hungary's Ambassador at Large for Energy Security, Dr. Anita Orban, testified that this legislation ``sends a clear signal that the global gas market is changing, that there is the prospect of much greater supply coming from other parts of the world.'' That is world security, freedom, prosperity. Mr. Chairman, I yield 2 minutes to the gentleman from Ohio (Mr. Turner), who has been a true leader on the issue of LNG exports.
