                           FREE OUR RESOURCES

  (Mr. TERRY asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. TERRY. Madam Speaker, free our resources. Our families have to 
pay $4, almost $4 a gallon to fill up. They are spending $70 just to 
fill up mid-size cars. We can't take this anymore, but yet we have the 
resources right here within the United States, whether it's offshore, 
Alaska, oil shale in Colorado that has been taken off and we can't 
drill in it. Today, we are going to do tax credits, 1 year of tax 
credits, that are going to be meaningless to develop biofuels and 
cellulosic ethanol.
  So we have the resources here, my friends, to decrease the price at 
the pumps by adding more supply, and it's being blocked. It's being 
blocked by the leadership here. Free up our resources, Madam Speaker.
