                        SOLVING ENERGY PROBLEMS

  (Mr. HAYWORTH asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. HAYWORTH. Mr. Speaker, if we could harness some of the wind power 
this morning, we could solve our energy problem. If we could take the 
blame game and convert it to Btus, we would have energy to last for a 
long time.
  Mr. Speaker, we ought to bring in a lot of different people and put 
them under oath in front of the Committee on Resources, in front of our 
various oversight committees, and get the answer. I do not countenance 
any misconduct by anyone, but I will tell you what is interesting: when 
the Governor of California had a chance to put emergency generators 
online, he said, Oh, no. If those folks are not going to be union 
employees, I do not want to see those generators.
  When the Governor of California had a chance to work out these 
problems, he took $1 million from the same utility companies my friend 
from Oregon

rails against. When the Governor of California had a chance to step 
forward and solve this problem, he went on Jay Leno. What is next, a 
Letterman appearance with stupid gubernatorial tricks?
  We have got real problems. Let us solve the problem. We can all yell 
and scream.
