                  STOP THE ASSAULT ON AMERICAN ENERGY

  (Mr. CARL asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. CARL. Madam Speaker, over the past few weeks, we have made it 
very clear how important it is for the United States to produce its own 
energy rather than rely on other countries for our supplies.
  The President and his allies have made things very clear that this is 
the thing that they want to do, shutting down American energy 
production, but the reality truly is that we can produce energy cleaner 
and more efficiently than any other nation on the planet.
  This administration decided to shut down American pipelines and shut 
down American energy production, which has done nothing but drive up 
the energy costs while threatening our national security and 
strengthening our adversaries around the globe. We simply cannot allow 
this to continue.
  President Trump's hard work to increase energy production and his 
leadership actually made us energy independent instead of energy 
dependent during his time.
  America has the resources and the ability to meet our supply needs, 
and I encourage the President to end his assault on American energy.
