“Yes, I am opposed. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Clerk will report the motion to recommit. The Clerk read as follows: Mrs. Capps moves to recommit the bill H.R. 3409 to the Committee on Energy and Commerce with instructions to report the same back to the House forthwith, with the following amendment: At the end of title II of the bill, insert the following new section: SEC. 203. ENSURING CONSUMERS PAY LESS FOR GAS AND THAT FUEL EFFICIENT AUTOMOBILES CONTINUE TO BE MADE IN AMERICA. (a) Findings.--Congress finds as follows: (1) The standards of the national program to improve fuel efficiency and reduce pollution for light-duty cars and trucks will provide major economic and consumer benefits to the United States. (2) The standards will save families more than $1.7 trillion in fuel costs and reduce America's dependence on oil by more than 2 million barrels per day in 2025, which is equivalent to one-half of the oil which our Nation currently imports from OPEC countries each day. (3) As a result of the standards, a family with a model year 2025 vehicle will save more than $8,000 in fuel costs over the life of the vehicle compared to a 2011 year vehicle. (4) As a result of the standards, average net savings for the owner of a 2025 vehicle will be equivalent to a drop in fuel prices of $1 per gallon.…”
