                   CONDEMNING BIDEN'S ENERGY POLICIES

  (Mr. BILIRAKIS asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. BILIRAKIS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to condemn Biden's 
disastrous energy policies that have hurt consumers with skyrocketing 
costs and jeopardized national security.
  On day one, he launched a war on American energy by killing the 
Keystone pipeline. Most recently, he announced a pause on all pending 
natural gas permits and that he would no longer hold court-ordered 
offshore gas lease sales. These shortsighted decisions embolden 
adversaries in their aggression toward American allies who rely on U.S. 
energy.
  Mr. Speaker, we must support commonsense measures, like those 
contained in the Lower Energy Costs Act, to restore American energy 
dominance,

lower costs for consumers, and protect our national security.
