                        A WIN FOR OFFSHORE WIND

  (Mr. AUCHINCLOSS asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute.)
  Mr. AUCHINCLOSS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to celebrate a more secure 
future for offshore wind and for Massachusetts' leadership in this 
growing clean energy sector.
  The removal of the proposed crewing amendment is a win for offshore 
wind and for Massachusetts. I am proud to have fought on behalf of 
clean energy independence and my district's economic development.
  However, we should not replay this saga every Congress. With 
Republicans taking the gavel, I am ready to work across the aisle and 
with dissenting voices in my own party to negotiate a permanent 
solution that advances offshore wind and anchors American jobs at home.
  I look forward to working on a bipartisan compromise to support 
domestic mariners and shipbuilders and to safeguard our clean energy 
future.
