Mike Doyle: “I couldn't have a better co-chair of the caucus than Chris Smith and I want people to know that.”

It is our responsibility on the subcommittee to highlight, as we have in so many hearings, the issues important to the people we represent.

I want to commend my colleague, Congresswoman Fletcher, for her work in developing legislation that embodies this principle.

I am also encouraged by FERC's efforts to finally establish an Office of Public Participation, as well as efforts to prepare for and combat cyber attacks on our energy infrastructure.

I look forward to doing that with my friends and colleagues on both sides of the aisle.
