                     PRESIDENT BIDEN'S ENERGY PLAN

  (Mr. ROSE asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. ROSE. Madam Speaker, the Biden administration has a backup plan 
to address rising gas prices, if their Secretary of Transportation's 
comical recommendation for every American to buy an electric car 
doesn't pan out. Unfortunately, the plan includes secret talks with 
Venezuela, led by corrupt dictator Nicolas Maduro, about lifting 
sanctions on importing Venezuelan oil into the United States.
  Of course, if that doesn't work out, there is always Saudi Arabia and 
the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries, otherwise known as 
OPEC, because, surely, begging an oil cartel to make a deal to increase 
oil production could never go wrong. What is next? Buying oil from 
Iran, the world's leading exporter of terrorism?
  This begs the question: Is this all that the Biden administration has 
to offer the American people in a time of crisis? Buy oil from corrupt 
dictators or buy a costly electric vehicle that you can't afford?
  These are not the ideals on which America was built. Regrettably, 
this is President Biden's America.
