                     ALL-OF-THE-ABOVE ENERGY POLICY

  (Mr. GUINTA asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. GUINTA. Mr. Speaker, in my home State of New Hampshire, I have 
had the pleasure of talking to many constituents over the course of the 
last several days who have expressed their great concern relative to 
the rising gas prices not just in New Hampshire, but all across the 
country. Just today, gas prices are now at $3.45 a gallon, minimum.
  This and many Congresses have failed their obligation and 
responsibility to have an approach to solving the energy crisis and the 
energy challenges that are before us. And I call both on this body and 
the President of the United States to come with an all-of-the-above 
energy policy so we can once and for all look the American people in 
the eye, my constituents in New Hampshire, and give them hope for a 
true reduction not just in gas prices, but to have long-term 
sustainability and viability from our own country in how we have our 
oil and other opportunities to reduce our dependence on foreign oil.
  This is something that is critical not just today and in the coming 
weeks, but its been critical for our Nation's infrastructure as well as 
our economy. I again hope that this body acts swiftly and promptly.
