       HOUSE REPUBLICANS SUPPORT ALL-OF-THE-ABOVE ENERGY POLICIES

  (Mr. WILSON of South Carolina asked and was given permission to 
address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. WILSON of South Carolina. Mr. Speaker, House Republicans are 
focused on solutions that will give our economy the boost it needs to 
fully recover and help put Americans back to work. Our Nation has an 
abundance of energy resources that, if accessed, would create jobs, 
promote our energy independence and lower prices at the pump.
  Today, the President will once again abandon his claim to support an 
all-of-the-above energy stance and will unveil a new plan focused on 
waging a ``war on coal'' with Big Government regulations destroying 
jobs.
  In contrast, this week, House Republicans will have the best 
interests of American families at heart when we vote on two key pieces 
of legislation included in our all-of-the-above energy plan. Increasing 
our offshore energy production, introduced by Congressman Doc Hastings 
of Washington, and lifting moratoriums on exploration and development, 
introduced by Congressman Jeff Duncan of South Carolina, are necessary 
to provide American families with a more secure future.
  In conclusion, God bless our troops, and we will never forget 
September the 11th in the global war on terrorism.
  Congratulations, former Chief of Staff Eric Dell and his wife, Torry, 
on the birth of their son, Noah Isaac Dell, on Sunday, June 23.
