mr. speaker , i would like to address my friends and colleagues .  we have got a lot of good members on the committee on energy and commerce , and i have great respect for my friends , the gentleman from michigan ( mr. stupak )  and the gentleman from virginia ( mr. boucher )  , who come here with serious public policy concerns .  i want to speak on an issue they do not address , in fact , i think they roll back , which i think is critical to addressing the price spike , and that is boutique fuels .  i will just give an example .  when i fly back home , i fill up in st .  louis .  i fill up my vehicle in st .  louis , and then i drive across the river to my hometown in collinsville , which is 30 minutes from the st .  louis airport , and then i drive up to springfield , illinois , which is the northern part of my district , probably 100 , maybe 200 miles separation , i go through three different fuel markets .  in other words , the unleaded gas i burn in st .  louis is not allowed to be purchased and bought in illinois , and it is not allowed to be purchased and sold in springfield , even though i am burning that fuel and driving back and forth .  these environmental regulations on the boutique fuels really make sense .  what makes it more difficult is that when you have constrained refinery capacity and you have one refinery producing for one area of the country , when that refinery has a disruption or goes down , then there is no way you can get fuel in there unless you waive environmental regulations , which is what the bill allows us to do if there is a natural disaster or hurricane .  it says we need to move fuel from st .  louis to springfield , illinois ; mr. president , you can waive those regulations .  so we should not discount the importance of addressing this boutique fuel .  boutique fuels , 48 to 58 different fuel brands around our country , will be pared down to six so that we can still meet the needs of the different regions of the country without holding us hostage .  i thank the chairman for the time .
