“this morning in my hometown of Columbus, Indiana, gasoline hit $3.99 a gallon, one-tenth of 1 cent just shy of $4 a gallon. So I rise this morning to ask my colleagues, what's it going to take? What's it going to take to get this Congress to take action to lessen our dependence on foreign oil? Now Democrats think we can tax our way to lower gas prices or, this week, sue our way to lower gas prices. But the American people know the only way to lessen our dependence on foreign oil is to lessen our dependence on foreign oil. Only by drilling in an environmentally responsible way on American soil and off American shores can the American people increase global supply and reduce the price of oil. As Memorial Day weekend approaches and Hoosiers headed to the lake see gasoline prices blow past $4 a gallon, I urge my fellow Americans, after $4 a gallon, after years of inaction, ask this Congress, what's it going to take to give the American people more access to American oil?”
