I am a newer Member of Congress, so this one was crazy to me: this idea that we didn't allow farmers to produce this biofuel all year-round; that we didn't allow consumers to have this option; that there was a law that said that only when we say so can E15 biofuels be produced. The question with this bill is: Do we want to allow farmers to produce more ethanol, to produce E15 all year-round whenever they want? Do we want our consumers to be able to buy lower priced gas all year- round? Unfortunately, the answer isn't obviously yes for everyone.

Mr. Speaker, I rise today in opposition to H.R. 1181, which is in this Rules package. I want to talk about the bill because it is going to make it harder for us to fight gun violence in America. The majority is bringing to the floor a bill that would prevent credit card companies from coding the sale of firearms, meaning that if you buy a firearm from a gun manufacturer, from a gun seller, this Congress is saying we don't want to track that, we don't want to code it. We code everything, but we are not going to code this. It makes it even harder for us to fight gun violence in America.
