we want to commend U.S. Representatives Sharice Davids and Garret Graves for introducing H.R. 1339

I just want to again reiterate what the chairman said in regard to helping us to think forward and project some of the needs out of this body.

What would you say to the family members of people in Louisiana that lost loved ones, when your legislation would actually take future investments in the restoration of our coast and the protection of these communities?

In regard to a cleaner energy future, reducing emissions, the United States continuing to be the global energy technology leader, I am 100 percent in.

All these people are coming to try to prescribe solutions for us that have no idea what in the world they are talking about.
