WAITING FOR AN ENERGY PLAN

(Mr. MICA asked and was given permission to address the House for 1
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
Mr. MICA. Mr. Speaker and my colleagues, the Democrats have had
control of the Congress now for a year and a half. We are still waiting
for an energy plan. We are going to celebrate Memorial Day this
weekend. We are still waiting for an energy plan. What have the
Democrats done so far as an energy plan? Well, let's just take a look
at it.
This is a spoon from the House cafeteria. They bought this spoon at
great expense to the taxpayers, and it is a green spoon. In fact, it
melts in your coffee. This is Exhibit 1. What have the Democrats done
when gas is $4? Well, go down to the gift store and you will see these
Green the Capitol bags. So now we have, at greater expense to the
taxpayer, printed these little Green the Capitol bags.
Now what is the centerpiece of their energy policy when you're going
to pay $4 a gallon and more around the country for gasoline? They are
going to change the light and green the light on the top of the
Capitol. Just the study, I'm told, is going to be $800,000, and then
millions of dollars. And $4 gas.
