Congressman
Henry E. Brown, Jr.

UPDATE [4:38pm]...Congressman Brown spoke to the assembled tourists, House staffers, and reporters that were sitting in the seats that are generally taken by Members of Congress when the House is in official session.  We should have his prepared statement posted soon.  Republican Member after Republican Member is speaking about the need for action on energy prices.  Republican Leadership also sent a letter to the Speaker asking that the House be called back into session to deal with our nation's energy crisis.

Congressman Brown and other House Republicans are staying on the House floor talking about the need to hold a vote on real solutions to high energy prices.  Unfortunately, the cameras, lights, and microphones are turned off, but you can read more about it here:

More on this as things develop...
