                          RE&EE EXPO AND FORUM

  (Mr. BARTLETT asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. BARTLETT. Mr. Speaker, today is the 14th Annual Congressional 
Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency Expo and Forum going on until 
4:30 p.m. in the Cannon Caucus room. The theme of this year's expo is 
``Efficiency + Renewables = Economic and National Security.'' There are 
57 exhibitors, including the United States Air Force. They all have 
displays.
  I encourage everyone to go and see the expo before you leave for the 
day.
  In addition to the House and Senate Renewable Energy and Energy 
Efficiency Caucuses, we partnered in hosting with the Sustainable 
Energy Coalition and its sister caucuses: the House Sustainable Energy 
and Environment Coalition, the House Algae Energy Caucus, the House 
Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Caucus, the House High Performance Building 
Caucus, the Green Jobs Caucus, as well as the Congressional Peak Oil 
Caucus, and the Oil and National Security Caucus.
  I want to give special thanks to my colleague from Maryland, 
Congressman Chris Van Hollen, who is the veteran co-chair of the House 
Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency Caucus, and Ken Bossong. This 
event would not have been possible without the efforts of Mr. Bossong 
and the Sustainable Energy Coalition.
  Please go to the Cannon Caucus, and see the great exhibits there--57 
exhibitors, including the United States Air Force.
