John Rice Carter said "I thank you, Representative Kelly. I will be glad to have you in the fight. You are a man I stand back-to-back with. Mr. Speaker, we have been here talking about something that many of us realize is a shocking change of our world. It seems a small thing, but 54.5 miles per gallon, everyone will tell you the kinds of cars we drive in Texas, which is pickup trucks, they can never get there. They can't gear and torque to get to that number, 54.5. Therefore, unless you pull a scam that was being talked about, every electric car offsets the pickup trucks, we're in trouble. Mr. Speaker, I yield back the balance of my time. Announcement by the Speaker Pro Tempore The SPEAKER pro tempore (Mr. Stutzman). Members are reminded to refrain from engaging in personalities toward the President. ___________________
