Our predecessors in Congress worked in a bipartisan manner to enact the Clean Water Act, one of the Nation's bedrock environmental laws. The legislation before us today was not developed in that same bipartisan manner, and it undermines…

I thank the gentleman from South Carolina for yielding. I rise today in proud support of H. Res. 987. This resolution denounces the Biden administration's anti-American energy policies that are designed to slow and kill domestic production…
