mr. chairman , i thank the gentleman for yielding me this time , and i have a little different view of this . 
this is a good bill . 
it is a bill this country needs . 
we need a national energy policy , there is no question about it , and i congratulate the gentleman from texas ( mr. barton ) xz4000180 on years of hard , dedicated work to bring this to the floor . 
having said that , like any other bill i have ever seen , it is not a perfect bill ; it has its good and bad parts . 
and if i could , mr. chairman , just for the record , i would like to have a little quick colloquy with the gentleman from texas .
