the gentleman from colorado. mr. lamborn: i think the gentleman and the others from the natural resources committee on the republican side who have spoke on this issue or the energy and commerce committee and made great comments about how we do need to do what we can in congress to lower the price of gasoline and we do that by increasing production. both go together. we don't do it by increasing taxes on the energy producers. we allow for policies to allow for more production and we have to pass 1229 to make thure shah whether it's deliberate or not, this administration will not continue to stonewall the permitting process. it's a long and lengthy process, there are multiple environmental reviews that take place and then to hold it up at the last and not allow for a permit to be issued is just not acceptable. all the work has been done when it becomes time to issue the permits so the only thing this bill says is you have 30 days with a couple of extensions if necessary to make the final decision and you don't have to
