[Congressional Record Volume 160, Number 98 (Monday, June 23, 2014)] [Extensions of Remarks] [Page E1050] From the Congressional Record Online through the Government Publishing Office [www.gpo.gov] PERSONAL EXPLANATION _____ HON. CORRINE BROWN of florida in the house of representatives Monday, June 23, 2014 Ms. BROWN of Florida. Mr. Speaker, on Friday, June 20, 2014, I mistakenly voted ``aye'' on rollcall vote 334. I meant to vote ``no.'' I support all forms of energy, including biofuels and agree with the vast majority of Americans who agree that we must diversify our fuel supplies with alternatives to oil. The list of auto makers embracing biodiesel continues to grow, and currently all major U.S. engine manufacturers support blends of up to 5 percent, while more than three- quarters support 20 percent blends in at least some of their engines. Many engine manufacturers are now actively promoting their positive positions on biodiesel blends (Ford, for example, now uses a B20 logo on heavy-duty diesel trucks.) A few years ago, Americans were filling up their cars at record prices--60, 80, 100 dollars a tank--and looking to Washington to see what could be done. To see what we could do to replace a crippling oil addiction with the energy technology this challenge demands, and our nation deserves. To relieve the strain on their budgets and their families not ten years from now--but now. Our government and military need to work toward the goal of including biofuels in their vast array of energy products. I support the military, I support the environment but I do not support this amendment. ____________________
