                              ENERGY WEEK

  (Mr. THOMPSON of Pennsylvania asked and was given permission to 
address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. THOMPSON of Pennsylvania. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to highlight 
Energy Week and how House Republicans are fighting back against the 
antienergy policies of the Biden administration. These policies 
threaten to undo years of innovation making our domestic production of 
natural resources the cleanest in the world.
  It is clear the United States has an abundance of clean-burning 
natural gas, especially in Pennsylvania, which is the second largest 
producer of natural gas in the country.
  By utilizing the Commonwealth's resources, we can provide jobs and 
invest directly into our communities that have suffered at the hand of 
the Biden administration's antienergy policies.
  By revoking new oil and gas leases on Federal lands, canceling vital 
pipeline permits, and imposing politically motivated regulations on our 
energy producers, this administration is jeopardizing American jobs and 
risking our energy and national security.
  Thankfully, House Republicans have not ignored the devastating impact 
these policies have on hardworking Americans.
  Mr. Speaker, my colleagues and I know energy security is national 
security, and we have had enough of Biden's failed far-left anti-
American energy agenda.
