Mr. President, if we have learned anything over the past few months, it is the importance of supporting ``Made in America'' energy. Since Europe has divested in traditional energy, Vladimir Putin has weaponized it and has Europe over a barrel. This is the path America is headed down if the administration continues to stonewall traditional American energy development. For the sake of our national security, we must unleash American energy production, which includes an ``all of the above'' energy portfolio with renewables, hydropower, oil, gas, nuclear, and coal. Energy security is national security, and a global, energy-dominant America is a safer world. We should also not be sending money to China like the House bill does in a package that is meant to help us win the race against China. It just doesn't make sense. I urge my colleagues to support this motion to instruct and reject the provisions from the House that weaken the energy security of the United States. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from Oregon.
