                       IMPORTANT ENERGY POLICIES

  (Mr. LATTA asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. LATTA. Mr. Speaker, as another week passes and gas prices 
continue to hit all-time record highs each day, our constituents want 
answers from Congress. Because there is no one single fix to stabilize 
the energy prices, we must have a comprehensive, realistic plan.
  Last month I introduced House Resolution 1206 which promotes five 
important energy policies that I believe will assist Congress as we 
develop our comprehensive energy plan.
  The five points within House Resolution 1206 include promotion and 
expansion of renewable alternative energy sources, increasing domestic 
refining capacity, promotion of conservation, increasing energy 
efficiency, expansion of research and development for domestic 
exploration, and enhancement of consumer education.
  House Resolution 1206 is one piece of our energy puzzle, but an 
important one as Congress seeks to improve our Nation's comprehensive 
energy policy.
