               NO RESULTS FROM EMPTY PROMISES OF MAJORITY

  (Ms. FOXX asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Ms. FOXX. Mr. Speaker, a little over a year ago, when the majority 
party was campaigning to take control of this House, they promised a 
lot of change, and they made a lot of promises about what they were 
going to do about gas prices and energy costs and everything else in 
this country.
  However, what has that promised change brought us? It has brought us 
a 43 percent increase in gasoline prices. The price of groceries is 
going up rapidly.
  We have seen no results from these empty promises. This is a do-
nothing Congress. They accused the Republicans of being a do-nothing 
Congress.
  This is a do-something Congress involved with a do-nothing because 
what they have done has been detrimental to our country. They have 
caused the price of gas to go up 43 percent, the price of groceries to 
go up.
  We need a real energy policy, not a lot of empty promises. I call on 
the majority to let us see some results from those empty promises.
