The amendment violates clause 7 of rule XVI of the House rules because it is not germane to the underlying bill. Specifically, the bill limits the drawdown of petroleum from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve until the Department of Energy…

This is a messaging amendment. We saw the President draw down the SPR in order to lower gas prices. That is not the purpose of the SPR. The SPR is not a political tool to be implemented with a drawdown right before an election. This was a…

I thank the Chairwoman for the time. She has done a great job. We look forward to big things on the Energy and Commerce Committee. Mr. Chairman, I have been watching this debate, and the Democrats are having a hard time defending the…

The last time I checked, I don't think the United States of America signed onto or ratified the Paris accords. This is a messaging amendment. If we are serious about addressing global climate risk and preserving and expanding the…

I congratulate the gentlewoman from Washington on her chairmanship. Before the Biden administration's war on American energy, America was increasingly dominant in energy production producing a surplus--a surplus. Exceeding demand usually…

You know, there are some bipartisan issues in this bill. There is no doubt about that, if the Democrats were to reach across the aisle and actually work with us. Issues like telehealth are important. But we are getting ready to break for…

I thank the gentlewoman from Minnesota for yielding time. Mr. Speaker, I rise in opposition to the previous question so that we can amend the rule to immediately consider the Protecting America's Strategic Petroleum Reserve from China Act…

We have been cursed by liberal politicians who want to take those abundant resources off the table and continue to hurt American families who are trying to fill up their car just to travel to work, to school, and to church. Mr. Speaker, we…

Flip the switch, folks. Let's support American energy independence. Madam Speaker, I urge a ``no'' vote on the previous question so the House can immediately consider this commonsense legislation by Cathy McMorris Rodgers. Mr. DeSAULNIER…

We come tonight to honor another Pickens County fallen hero, Specialist Four Charles Johnson, Jr., an American hero and fallen son of South Carolina, by designating the Pickens, South Carolina post office the Specialist Four Charles…

Today, I rise to honor the 150th anniversary of Lander University, one of the greatest universities in the Third District of South Carolina and the fastest growing public university in our State. Lander was founded in 1872 in Williamston…

I thank the gentleman from Utah for yielding. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the life of a model American and South Carolinian, and let me add, a very good friend of mine, Raymond G. ``Jerry'' Strawbridge, who passed away Monday. Jerry…

I thank the gentleman for yielding because I know that he, too, works hard for our Nation's veterans and the men and women who serve in the United States military. Madam Speaker, I rise today to commend and recognize a World War II and…

Due to the draconian measures instituted on masks and metal detectors, I missed a vote out of frustration. Had I been present, I would have voted ``nay'' on rollcall No. 244, En Bloc No. 5. MEMBERS RECORDED PURSUANT TO HOUSE RESOLUTION 8…

Listen to this, Madam Speaker, there is no national security without energy security. How true is that statement? This is all in the name of saving the climate. The reality is phasing out fossil fuels in the United States won't eliminate…

I thank the gentleman for the time. Madam Speaker, I rise in opposition to the previous question, so that we can amend the rule to immediately consider H.R. 751, the Protecting American Energy Production Act. Now, my bill is…

This bill is riddled with problems, but one example I want to focus on right now is the Low-Income Water Customer Assistance Program. I have an amendment that would rein in some of this program's outlandish spending and take a more…

This CRA is another act by the Biden administration to undercut American energy production. It is plain and simple. In committee, I offered an amendment to this resolution that would simply express Congress' disapproval for the Nord Stream…

I am not anti-EV, but I am opposed to Federal mandates requiring electric vehicles.

I appreciate the opportunity zones in general. And low-income communities will be the last to recover from economic instability.

It is time for fear tactics like Ms. Hollis was talking about to stop.

This move toward higher-priced and more expensive electricity generation through wind and solar, it has been proven time and again that that is more expensive than traditional, 24/7/365 power supplies that exist today.

They should be sworn in, but I yield back. Thank you.

Democrats repeating disinformation about the motives of the murder in Atlanta during a hearing on disinformation is irony at its worst.
