                        PRO-GROWTH ENERGY POLICY

  (Mr. YODER asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. YODER. Mr. Speaker, Americans are working hard to make ends meet 
during this sluggish economy, and a clear and predictable pro-growth 
energy policy will help to alleviate financial stress on American 
families as energy costs rise. But most of all, pro-growth energy 
policies will create jobs and put Americans back to work.
  If you are looking for legislation that will create jobs across 
America, there are several opportunities to vote ``yes'' this week in 
the United States House.
  The Natural Gas Pipeline Permitting Reform Act, Federal Lands Jobs 
and Energy Security Act, and the Protecting States' Rights to Promote 
American Energy Security Act are all pro-growth, pro-energy policies 
that the House will consider this week and will give all my colleagues 
an opportunity to show whether they are pro-jobs or not.
  These bills will promote natural gas pipeline infrastructure 
construction projects, expand onshore American energy production, and 
create jobs by passing these bills that will streamline government red 
tape and eliminate duplicative and costly regulations that only delay 
safe energy production on American soil.
  Mr. Speaker, let's unite on behalf of the American people and support 
these pro-energy growth, pro-job creation bills.
