The Public Record
I wish you'd hold that chart up again that shows how big the ANWR is. I think the American people are under the impression that the ANWR is a huge place. It's the size of--you said Reagan airport, I said Dulles, but airports are airports.
America is a can-do Nation and we need a can-do Congress. And right now, the Congress, and both the House and the Senate, which is controlled by the other party, they have a we-can't-do, we can't do this, we can't do that. As a result…
let me just say to the young lady who just spoke in the well, the new Representative, that if you are going to drill you have to have a geological study done that shows that there is oil there. Those leases are 5 to 10 years, and if there…
I wish you would really stress that point and the gentleman from Georgia would stress that point that natural gas 10 years ago was $2.
I guess the point I was trying to make is I know it would take a long time because we are behind the curve, but if the United States got with the program like we should have back in the seventies, we could be almost energy independent…
They have twice the amount of oil there that they have in Texas, and I just cannot understand why we're not drilling there.
Our colleague from Ohio was talking about these leases. And the reason they want to drill in ANWR is because geologists found there is a huge supply of oil there. That makes your point. That's where the oil is. As Willy said, that's where…
The geologists with whom we've talked say that they know that there is oil in the ANWR and that they know where the oil is off the continental shelf. I don't know about these other 8,000 leases in the spots that we're talking about, but I…
The problem we have with energy right now is that China is buying an awful lot of the oil, and India is buying a lot of the oil. The appetite for energy is growing at a very rapid rate, even here in the United States, and we're not keeping…
You know, you can blame us, we can blame you. We can go all the way back to the Carter administration when we had lines. You are a fairly young man, you probably don't remember, But there were lines around the block and people coming with…
Before you leave, let me say I think what would be very illuminating for the American people is for you and three or four of your colleagues who have some expertise in this area to come down with three or four of our colleagues and sit…
You know, a number of us--I'm on the Foreign Affairs Committee, and I do some traveling to meet with leaders in other countries around the world. And one of the things that I have found is the Pound Sterling and the Euro, their currency…
I wish everybody that is interested in golf were paying attention tonight because you're mentioning some really great players from San Diego. There must be something in the water out there. But Scott Simpson is a friend of mine. I have had…
The people that criticize Mickelson probably can't even carry his shoes. He has won two Masters. He is the number two golfer in the world right now. He is tough in every tournament. So when people say something bad about Mickelson, they…
You know, if we don't do something about the price of gasoline and fuel, we will be able to go to the moon cheaper than we can drive down to the corner drugstore. I know that may sound like a joke, but the cost of fuel is going up so…
People in this country want their energy prices to go down, and they want them to go down now. You are not doing anything, and a lot of you guys are my friends, but I am going to tell you right now, this is going to be one of the major…
if you went out to a gas station this morning or tomorrow morning and you asked anybody pumping gasoline what the number one issue is, they would tell you without a doubt it is the price of gasoline because it is having an impact on their…
Mr. Speaker, in 1860, at the Wigwam Convention Center in Chicago, Illinois, a man named William Seward marched around with his crowd of supporters, and he got to the convention center too late because the gallery was stacked with…
I rise today to speak on S. 1245, legislation to reform mutual aid agreements for the National Capital Region. This legislation was introduced by Senators Cardin, Warner, Mikulski, and Webb last July and passed by the Senate in December by…
just a little while ago, we voted to suspend the acquisition of petroleum for the Strategic Petroleum Reserve and for other purposes, a bill, H.R. 6022, which is going to take about 70,000 barrels of oil a day that would be going into the…
occasionally things happen when you're in Congress that make you so angry that you can't hardly stand it. I got a call this past week, Mr. Speaker, from a friend of mine from my childhood. And her brother is a veteran who was in the…
one of the things that's made the United States and the world healthier than at any period of the world has been vaccinations. Vaccinations have stopped so many dreaded diseases from killing hundreds of thousands, millions of people, it's…
I know Julia Carson, who was a beloved Member of all of us in this body, is looking down from heaven today and is very, very proud of Andre. He was the apple of her eye, her grandson, and if there was one thing she wanted, she wanted him…
Mrs. Margaret Truman Daniel, as has been stated, was the daughter of Harry Truman, who was one of the fighting Presidents of the United States, and his daughter, Margaret, was also a very strong young lady. As has been mentioned, she…
Michael Kashkoush grew up in Michigan, and then he moved to Chagrin Falls to start high school. He was the beloved son of Marwan and Mary Jane Kashkoush. He spent his freshman and sophomore years in Chagrin Falls, and then moved with his…
