                       THE HIGH COST OF GASOLINE

  (Mr. LEWIS of Georgia asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. LEWIS of Georgia. Madam Speaker, I rise today for the weary 
Americans who are working harder than they ever have but still find 
themselves falling behind. I rise today for Americans all across this 
country and especially those in my home State of Georgia who are 
hurting. I rise for those whose wallets get thinner each time they go 
to the gas station.
  I rise for those who must decide between $4 a gallon gasoline or food 
for their family, those who must decide between $4 a gallon gasoline or 
paying the mortgage. Americans will continue to make these choices 
until we decide enough is enough. Let's change our energy policy.
