                  CONGRATULATING IOWA BIODIESEL BOARD

  (Mrs. MILLER-MEEKS asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Mrs. MILLER-MEEKS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Iowa 
Biodiesel Board on their recognition by the Clean Fuels Alliance 
America for their contributions to clean energy.
  Since the Iowa Biodiesel Board was created in 2007, they have been 
instrumental in making Iowa the number one biodiesel producing State in 
the country.
  Biofuels are critical in the United States' goal of energy 
independence. They have created jobs throughout Iowa and the country 
and reduced overall greenhouse gas emissions.
  I am proud to represent a State that recognizes the advantages of 
biofuels and organizations like the Iowa Biodiesel Board for promoting 
biodiesel throughout the country.
  As we continue pursuing clean energy production, I hope my colleagues 
will look to Iowa and organizations such as the Iowa Biodiesel Board as 
an example of an ``any-of-the-above'' approach.
  In order to leave a cleaner, healthier planet for our children and 
grandchildren, we must enact policies that promote a variety of energy 
sources where they work best.
  I want to congratulate Iowa Biodiesel Board for their commitment 
toward clean energy and being a recipient of the Clean Fuels Initiative 
Award.
