                LOWER THE PRICE OF GASOLINE AT THE PUMP

  (Mr. McHENRY asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  Mr. McHENRY. Mr. Speaker, my constituents in western North Carolina 
and my neighbors and I are really upset about what's happening at the 
price of gasoline at the pumps.
  What we see out of this administration and what we see out of some 
extreme environmentalists is an unwillingness to tap our natural 
resources to relieve the price at the pumps today. We've seen out of 
this administration Solyndra. We've seen scandal after scandal with 
this green energy policy lending coming out of the stimulus from a 
couple of years ago and out of liberal policies in Washington.
  What my constituents want to see is real exploration so that we can 
lower the price at the pumps. That's what we deserve, and that's an 
action that I ask this administration to take.
