                        ALL-OF-THE-ABOVE ENERGY

  (Mr. PRICE of Georgia asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute.)
  Mr. PRICE of Georgia. Mr. Speaker, when I drove to the airport to 
come out here this week, I recognized that gasoline was at $3.86 a 
gallon in my district, and the last time we got to these levels was 
almost 2\1/2\, 3 years ago in the summer of 2008.
  And we, at that time, came up with an all-of-the-above energy plan, a 
plan that recognizes that what we need to do is expand production in 
the United States. We need to concentrate on conservation. We need to 
incentivize new forms of energy. But first and foremost, in order to 
get us over the bridge, we need to make certain that we utilize 
responsibly resources that have been given to this great country by our 
Creator.
  We need offshore exploration, onshore exploration, clean coal 
technology, oil shale, all of the things that the American people know 
will decrease not just the price of gasoline but will decrease our 
reliance on foreign oil and make this country safer and the world 
safer.
  Let's get to work on an all-of-the-above energy plan on behalf of the 
American people.
