                           NO MORE IRAQI OIL

  (Mr. REHBERG asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. REHBERG. Mr. Speaker, America is at war against terrorists; yet, 
we buy our oil from nations that harbor the very same terrorists our 
sons and daughters bravely fight.
  In the first 6 months of this year, America gave Saddam Hussein a 
staggering $2.3 billion for Iraqi oil. I do not want to send my 18-
year-old son or the sons and daughters of the people of Montana to the 
Middle East to fight for terrorist oil, especially when we have oil 
available here at home.
  Mr. Speaker, we need to unify as Americans, pass a comprehensive and 
balanced energy plan that reduces our dependence on oil sold by 
terrorists. We must stop bankrolling the very terrorists that our men 
and women are fighting currently.
  We have bought enough Iraqi oil. No more.
