I believe we should have an open mind on whether changes are needed.

We have no further speakers on our side of the aisle except for myself, and I think I have the right to close. I don't know if the gentleman from Illinois has additional speakers or if he would like to go at this time.

However, most of this trend is due to sharply increased domestic oil production--something that few imagined was even possible during the Congressional debates over the RFS.

So many critics say that that flexibility argument--we're giving maximum flexibility to the State--is really a red herring.
