If a chemical is dangerous, we should be acting as quickly as we can to protect our people.

I am not looking for your political judgment. I need your technical judgment.

I think it would be ill-advised for the Congress to move in and try to be the agency of expertise.

The FCC made the right decision. You're the agency of expertise.

We have to be very careful what we do here to make sure that there is true enforcement.

The Udall-Vitter bill allows, allows the chemical industry pay extra money, pay extra money for EPA to classify a chemical as high priority.

That's what this is all about.

The job that we have on this committee is to make sure that there is a bill that does give protections for the next generation, that we have to put in place learning the lessons of the past.

There is no question in my mind that there will be more Jimmy Andersons unless EPA is given clear authority, resources and deadlines to take action on chemicals that have already been proven to kill.

Unfortunately, the bill we are discussing today does not meet that test. It handcuffs States attorneys general, who are our chemical cops on the beat.

1993, Senator Markey, then-Congressman Markey, created Section 332 of the Communications Act in the House.

Letter dated March 18, 2015 from 140 advocacy groups and companies supporting the Title II decision of the Federal Communications Commission.

What we're doing here is we are not letting people get away with saying, 'No.'

I thank Senator Boxer for her partnership on this bill, and I look forward to working with all of my colleagues to advance TSCA reform that protects the most vulnerable amongst us from the harm they are exposed to.

It's the heart of our economy. It's where young people want to go, of all races.

I think it's an historically correct decision but I don't think there should be a question about whether or not you use the process that allowed all voices to be heard.

It essentially puts the States out of business of protecting their people from poison.

Reform is needed. But that reform must be built on a platform of meaningful protections for the public.
