                               GAS PRICES

  (Mr. JOYCE of Pennsylvania asked and was given permission to address 
the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. JOYCE of Pennsylvania. Mr. Speaker, this week, as gasoline prices 
climb to over $5 a gallon at home, Pennsylvania families are now paying 
twice what they paid when President Biden first took office just 18 
months ago.
  By Biden's canceling of new drilling leases and decision to impose 
burdensome standards on our energy producers, the President has turned 
his back on the energy crisis that our communities right now are 
facing.
  A new report out this week finds that at this rate, Americans are on 
track to pay over $5,000 a year for gasoline. These prices are 
unsustainable, and instead of addressing the problem, President Biden 
has chosen to side with the far-left activists instead of the working-
class Americans who are paying these prices at the pump.
  The answer is clear: We need to produce American energy for American 
families to lower the cost of gas and stop the runaway inflation that 
is right now crippling our Nation.
