I have fought this energy issue on this floor of Congress for some years now. And the lamentations that I'm hearing that come from the gentleman from Florida, his concerns about motions to recommit used to be concerns about the Republican majority. They still remain concerns about President Bush, and they still remain allegations about why we have high gas prices, why it is people can't pay their bills. But the Pelosi majority would suspend the law of supply and demand. There wasn't any discussion about that. It was all about profiteering of the corporations. Well, the first point I will make is that we have got to have some people producing energy.
