AMERICAN-MADE ENERGY AND GOOD JOBS ACT -- (House of Representatives - May 25, 2006)

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mr. NUNES. Mr. Speaker, I want to thank the chairman for taking me to ANWR 4 years ago now. It was really an eye-opening experience for me. I was expecting to see beautiful water running through streams and trees and animals running around, and Mr. Chairman, that is not what we saw when we got there.

In fact, what we saw was just a barren slope. It is a barren slope, and with gas at $3 a gallon and some places like California approaching $4, it is time that the Congress pass this and make this into law.

I just want to point out to the American people that one of the reasons that this continues to be used as propaganda by the environmental community is because it is their number one source of fundraising throughout the country to use in political campaigns.

So I would hope that we would pass this here today in the House, and I would hope eventually we can move this through the Senate.
