I think it is important to review that for every year that this House of Representatives has been controlled by the Republican majority, during the summer months, from April 1 to September 30, the price of gasoline has dramatically escalated. Mr. Meek, in 2002, if you went to your local gas station, you paid $1.39. The majority, in 2002, in this House of Representatives, Madam Speaker, was Republican. In 2003, Madam Speaker, the majority in this House was Republican. And if you examine that chart, there was about another 20 cent plus-up for a gallon of gas.
