                       RENEWABLE ENERGY EXPO 1996

  (Mr. SCHAEFER asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. SCHAEFER. Mr. Speaker, I would like to urge Members to visit the 
Renewable Energy Expo 1996, taking place today from noon to 3 p.m. in 
the Cannon Caucus Room.
  This exhibit, being sponsored by three dozen trade associations, 
industry groups, and businesses, offers you the opportunity to inspect 
the latest American renewable energy and energy-efficient technologies. 
You can ask the groups' representatives questions about their projects 
throughout the country, including some which may be operating in your 
own district.
  The renewable energy expo is being put on in cooperation with the 
House Renewable Energy Caucus, a bipartisan group I founded in February 
along with six other Members. This caucus has grown 10 times in size--
to 70 members--in less than 3 months, demonstrating the broad support 
renewables enjoy in Congress and throughout the country, renewables for 
our children and their grandchildren.
  I hope you can stop by the Cannon Caucus Room today to see vivid 
demonstrations of our country's energy future.
