             H. RES. 1206, COMPREHENSIVE ENERGY REFORM PLAN

  (Mr. LATTA asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. LATTA. Madam Speaker, it was a privilege to travel with Leader 
Boehner and my fellow Republican colleagues on the American Energy Tour 
to Colorado and Alaska.
  Our mission encompassed the ``all of the above'' energy policy our 
constituents have demanded. We've expanded our knowledge of renewable 
and alternative energy in addition to getting the hard facts on 
domestic exploration and recovery of our natural resources.
  After hosting multiple town hall meetings and speaking with 
constituents throughout my district, it is clear that they, along with 
the majority of the American public, support the House Republicans' 
``all of the above'' plan.
  This plan calls for nuclear, clean coal technology and a responsible 
effort to safely explore and recover our domestic natural resources 
while expanding wind, solar, hydrogen, ethanol and biofuels. This plan 
is similar to the resolution I introduced on May 15, House Resolution 
1206, which is a five-point comprehensive energy reform plan.
  We must enact comprehensive energy reform. And until Congress does, 
our constituents and the economy will continue to suffer.
