My name is andre and i am a big plan, leader really inspiring. Yes. There is the view on the floor, people hosting comments. Thank you. Please give angel a very large applause. She has been working on this and i am delighted to see each of you. I will take a moment because im so happy to see the chairman of the Democratic Caucus. In the midst of government today, the workers of government, defenders of government, people who seek not for ourselves but for all of you. Please come, we are in the midst of an Energy Resolution as you well know. We have messages of strength and empowerment and looking at green energy and energy from around the nation from the continent of africa but looking to find ways to Work Together for the benefit of the world and the world climate.

Proponents argue this deadline is necessary to ensure timely consideration by d. O. E. , but given the departments track record, i find this arbitrary deadline to be completely unnecessary. In fact it could be detrimental to the ultimate approval of an export application. In light of recent events related to the jordan cove application in oregon, do you believe it makes sense to force d. O. E. To hastily make a decision on an application based on the final eis . We have consistently said we see no need for this. By performance. And as youve said, i think very correctly, there can be unintended consequences. The jordan cove, when that was rejected by ferc for nonenvironmental reasons, would have caused a problem with the bills as proposed.

But that means ill be very aggressive with the gavel to ensure you stick to the fiveminute limit. And heres my example. Im giving myself five minutes for an Opening Statement. America is back. We are an energy superpower. That statement would have sounded odd a handful of years ago, and laughable in the 1970s. But the fact is, we are awash in energy. Today, we are the worlds leading producer of oil and gas, and were less reliant upon foreign sources of energy. Our resources are plentiful and affordable. So affordable that low prices have become a common complaint back home in houston, texas. Except from my daughter in college who now has m
To go to a restaurant, you can apply for a restaurant. They wont hire you unless you are an illegal immigrant. In the state of new jersey, you need not apply at a restaurant to wash dishes, to pump gas, on and on. I could say all of these. Mow lawns, work for a landscaping company. Host we appreciate your comments. We will hear from the congressman. Guest music stressing a frustration and number of people expressed. He is expressing a frustration a number of people expressed. If we pass comprehensive immigration reform, we would make a floor so that people would be able to complain to the department of labor or whoever else that they are not paid properly. It would have to be recorded. An unauthorized worker is hired because they can be paid less, because they have fewer rights on the job, because they are less likely to complain. If everybody has a status and has the right therefore to exert their rights, then it should stop the wage decline that he is concerned about. Let me also say
