            FINDING SOLUTIONS FOR SKYROCKETING ENERGY PRICES

  (Mr. NEUGEBAUER asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. NEUGEBAUER. Madam Speaker, I rise today to talk about energy, the 
fact that this is the people's House and the people are speaking. They 
are speaking loud and clear. Unfortunately, I do not think that the 
Democratic leadership is listening to the people. Survey after survey 
says we are tired of sending money to Hugo Chavez. Let's spend that 
money in the good old USA.
  Madam Speaker, Nancy Pelosi, when this new leadership took charge, 
said we are going to bring real change for America. Well, the real 
change that this leadership has brought for America is we have the 
highest gasoline-diesel prices in the history of this country.
  Madam Speaker, real change would be for the Democratic leadership for 
a change to begin to bring bills to the floor of this House that will 
bring long-term energy security and lower gasoline prices for the 
American people.
  Madam Speaker, it is time for a change. It is time for you to change 
your position and bring energy legislation to the floor so that 
American people do not have to suffer and we do not have to send Hugo 
Chavez any more of our hard-earned money.
