                   WILL OF CALIFORNIANS HAS PREVAILED

  (Mr. KILEY of California asked and was given permission to address 
the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. KILEY of California. A new survey from the Public Policy 
Institute of California finds that two-thirds of Californians oppose 
Governor Newsom's ban on gas-powered cars. This ban was imposed by the 
Governor without so much as a vote in the legislature or the people of 
California.
  The good news is that the will of the people has prevailed.
  I introduced a resolution here in Congress to reverse Governor 
Newsom's ban on gas cars. It passed this House with strong bipartisan 
support. It has passed the Senate with bipartisan support, and it was 
signed into law by the President. This is an important win for sanity 
in California. Californians can continue to drive the car of their 
choice, and it is exactly the kind of check and balance against the 
extreme policies in Sacramento that Californians are asking for.
