On the recordNovember 18, 2003
I rise today to thank and commend the gentleman from Louisiana (Mr. Tauzin) and the gentleman from Texas (Mr. Barton) for what I think is excellent work in the House and in the conference. This is landmark legislation. I think it absolutely defines the word comprehensive. It is going to decrease dependence on foreign oil. It enhances the electricity grid ensuring reliability and protecting native load. It is a boon for our consumers. After dozens, upon dozens, upon dozens of hearings over the last 3 years, and a few empty trips to the red zone, we are now on the goal line today. Vote yes to score a victory, ladies and gentlemen, for the American consumers.
