“I rise today to strongly support the senior Senator from Alaska's resolution of disapproval over the Environmental Protection Agency's regulation of greenhouse gas emissions under the Clean Air Act. The EPA has completely overstepped its bounds with this action and I am proud to support Senator Murkowski's effort to undo this harmful regulation. A colleague of mine, currently serving here in the Senate, once remarked that: ``Overburdensome and unnecessary Federal regulations can choke the life out of small businesses by imposing costly and often ineffectual remedies to problems that may not exist.'' This statement was made by the majority leader and I could not agree more with it, especially when staring such a problem in the face as we have here with EPA's draconian new rules. Make no mistake--the Congressional Review Act was designed to take on this exact sort of executive overreach.”
