On the recordJuly 12, 2016
I would just restate that this amendment creates a loophole. It creates a loophole for one industry. It picks winners and losers. The winners would be one segment of the truck industry. The losers would be jobs, our health, and our environment. Mr. Chair, I ask for opposition to this amendment. Mr. Chair, I yield back the balance of my time. The Acting CHAIR. The question is on the amendment offered by the gentlewoman from Tennessee (Mrs. Black). The amendment was agreed to. Amendment No. 43 Offered by Mrs. Blackburn The Acting CHAIR. It is now in order to consider amendment No. 43 printed in House Report 114-683.
