I thank my friend from California. Madam Speaker, I yield 1\1/2\ minutes to the gentleman from Texas (Mr. Babin).

I thank the gentleman from Texas (Mr. Babin). I yield 2 minutes to the gentleman from Minnesota (Mr. Stauber) that served on both the National Resources Committee and the House Transportation Committee with Congressman Young.

I thank my friend from Florida. Madam Speaker, I yield to the gentleman from Arkansas (Mr. Westerman), the ranking member of the House Natural Resources Committee.

I thank my friend from Louisiana for his heartfelt message. Madam Speaker, I yield to the gentleman from Indiana (Mr. Baird).

I want to give tribute to Don's wife Anne and to his daughters, Joni and Dawn, his sister, but his family goes well beyond that. I have a number of statements from former alumni of the Don Young staffer world that submitted statements…

I thank the gentleman from Illinois for his evolution in thought there and for yielding. Mr. Speaker, over the last 2 years, we have seen just an absolutely incredible experience going through COVID. It might be the mask mandates that were…

Over the last 2 years, everybody has a COVID memory. It might be the masks that were mandated on folks across the United States. It might be that cup of coffee that you tried to drink, forgetting that your mask was on. It might be how we…

I think it's important that we look at data when we are looking at issues like aviation noise.

It is very interesting where we find ourselves right now. Just a few years ago--in fact, within the last year--we have advocated for banning Russian oil. We have advocated for it. Guess who has opposed it, on the record, voting against…

FEMA's new risk rating policy threatens those who live here by making it financially unaffordable to remain here.

I have proposed amendments to bills in the Transportation Committee and the Natural Resources Committee to ban Russian oil now for about 3 years, and every single Democrat on the committee has opposed that legislation.

the lack of energy production, the lack of following the law and doing new lease sales, it makes your parish more vulnerable at a time when they are trying to recover.

Most residents with existing policies are going to see an increase of 18%, the maximum allowed by Congress.

The roll out of Risk Rating 2.0 is not an example of an effective partnership between Louisiana and the Federal Government.

We need to ensure that that investment is factored into the premiums that residents pay.

Every Democrat member of this committee voted against banning Russian oil.

California and the European Union are two perfect examples of fatally flawed strategies.

Madam Chair, as I mentioned to you once before, in my entire life, I have never heard of a committee not allowing documents to be submitted in the record by unanimous consent until this committee did it last year, I believe.

No is not a strategy.

The Biden Administration's EIA says that developing countries are going to need between a 44- and 80-percent increase in natural gas.

No isn't an energy policy. Opposing everything isn't an energy policy.

Yes, this was totally, totally preventable, and it is a result of failed or really just no energy strategy.

The only President in recent time or over the last 5 years that has reduced emissions is President Trump, not President Biden.

We instead, last year, nearly tripled the importation of Russian crude oil into the United States--nearly tripled it--which then funded, effectively, Putin's aggression in Ukraine.

We need to be talking about something that is rational, something that is science based, and we are not.
