“I thank the gentleman. This debate will continue. It would be great if we were debating these bills next week. I stand to be surprised and happily surprised if the announcement comes out over the weekend that some or all of these bills will be brought to the floor. I would give the gentleman a prediction that if the House were to take up and pass these bills, we would see a dramatic reduction in the price of gasoline. I will leave that out there for the gentleman to consider as one more reason why these would be good debates to have, where we could talk together in support of good policy. We are both blessed with good staff that help us identify really good pieces of legislation that we could bring to address these big, big problems that families are facing. Mr. Speaker, unless the gentleman has anything else, I yield back the balance of my time. ____________________”
