gardner: thank you to the gentleman from kentucky. it's frustrating, too, because we continue to hear statement from the administration, from others who wish to pursue an energy -- a vibrant energy policy for our country that they too agree we need expanded resource development in the united states, expanded u.s. energy opportunities. but it's almost like lip-synching. they are -- they are talking about it but actually not doing it. and unfortunately what we are seeing is conversations by the administration without the actions to back up that conversation. and i yield back my time. the chair: the gentleman's time has expired. the gentlewoman from california. mrs. capps: mr. chairman, i yield myself 30 seconds to respond to my colleague from colorado, the author of the bill. section 328 of the clean air act is what is at issue today in this amendment. it was created more than 20 years ago largely at the insinsens of california officials. in fact, my republican predecessor, he introduced this legislation because residents were unhappy a

this meant that in kentucky workers would have to join the united auto workers union. workers in tennessee had a choice. well, in 1980 nissan chose tennessee, a state with almost no auto jobs. today auto assembly plants and suppliers provide one-third of tennessee's manufacturing jobs. tennessee is the home for production of the leaf, nissan's all-electric vehicle, and the batteries that power it. and recently nissan announced that 85% of the cars and trucks it sells in the united states will be made in the united states, making it one of the largest american auto companies. so now the nlrb and unions want to make it illegal for a company that has experienced repeated strikes to move production to a state with a right to work law. what would this mean for the future of american auto jobs? well, jobs would flee overseas as manufacturers look for a competitive environment in which to make and sell their products around the world. it's happened before. david halberstam's 1986 book, "the reckoning," tells a story about the decline of the domestic auto industry. halberstam
