                  CHARTING A NEW COURSE FOR OUR NATION

  (Mr. KUCINICH asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  Mr. KUCINICH. What if the BP gusher in the gulf is unstoppable? This 
is a challenging question which is making its way through various 
blogs. What if millions of barrels of oil continue to flow uncontrolled 
from the hole in the seabed? We should be preparing now for a worst-
case scenario. We should be mobilizing our Nation now, developing new, 
comprehensive plans for sustainable, alternative energy, for 
environmental protection, for public health, for preservation of 
species, for security, for rebuilding our economy and repairing 
commerce. We should be challenging our fellow citizens and ourselves to 
take part in charting a new course for our Nation, towards creating an 
America which has unlimited energy because it has unlimited vision, 
unclouded by greed or partisan advantage.
