                     RECOGNIZING CLEAN ENERGY WEEK

  (Mr. CURTIS asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. CURTIS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in support of Clean Energy 
Week, an opportunity to celebrate bipartisan support for the wide 
variety of clean energy sources strengthening America's national 
security while also preserving our environment for future generations.
  The environment is, and should be, a bipartisan issue. That is why I 
am proud to lead, with my friend Congressman Lowenthal of California, a 
bipartisan resolution in support of Clean Energy Week.
  In fact, my legislation was introduced by 71 original cosponsors, 
divided almost evenly between Republicans and Democrats. This goes to 
show that we can and must work across the aisle to be better caretakers 
of our planet, and I plan to continue the pursuit of these positive 
bipartisan policies while in Congress.
