Nick Rahall: “I would simply remind the distinguished minority leader, if my memory serves me correctly, the minority party was in…”

On the recordJune 26, 2008
I would simply remind the distinguished minority leader, if my memory serves me correctly, the minority party was in control of both ends of Pennsylvania Avenue for some 6 years, both Houses of Congress. I don't recall this legislation or any serious energy policy being adopted during that time period. Mr. Speaker, I fully agree with the minority leader about developing all of our domestic reserves. Coming from a coal area, certainly I agree with that scenario, that we need to develop all of our domestic resources, and in a non-partisan fashion as well.
