Call For Answers Regarding Bear Stearns Bailout
As a member of the House Financial Services Committee, I called for answers from Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke and Treasury Secretary Hank Paulson regarding the recent bailout of Bear Stearns.
With the support of 23 Members, I sent a letter to Bernanke and Paulson asking for answers to a series of specific questions involving the Fed’s actions. I have already asked Financial Services Committee Chairman Barney Frank to hold a Congressional hearing about this issue but Chairman Frank has yet to respond.

Pushing America Toward a New Solar Energy Future
Recently, I introduced legislation to push America forward toward a new solar energy future for America. The “Zeroing In America Energy Act”, or ZIA Energy Act, authorizes the Secretary of Interior to begin leasing designated public lands to develop solar energy.
At a time when we are struggling to meet our energy needs, we need a commitment to develop our own domestic energy resources. We need a multi-pronged approach to investing in our domestic energy sources such as solar, oil & gas, hydropower and wind. We have at our fingertips the solution to our energy crises, we only need the courage to reach out and grab those solutions and produce the energy we need.
Peru Free Trade Agreement Passed, Now Must Move on to Columbia and Panama
Cross posted at Conaway Blog
Yesterday the U.S. House of Representatives voted overwhelmingly to pass the U.S.-Peru Trade Promotion Agreement with a vast majority of Republicans supporting the agreement and a minority of the Democratic Party supporting the measure.
This well-negotiated trade agreement between the United States and Peru is a solid win for a vast array of sectors and workers in the U.S., and I am proud to have voted for it.
