I appreciate the excellent description of the chairman, Lamar Smith, on H.R. 1021, the Temporary Bankruptcy Judgeships Extension Act. This is a very bipartisan piece of legislation, extending by 5 years the authorizations for 30 temporary…

I am pleased to yield such time as he may consume to the former chairman of the Education and Labor Committee, the ranking member currently, the gentleman from California, George Miller.

Would the gentleman from California tell me now or at some future time which health regulations he would like to get repealed or withdrawn?

I thank the gentleman for yielding. The CHAIR. The gentleman has reclaimed his time. Does the gentleman from Michigan now yield to the gentleman from Georgia?

Yes, sir. The CHAIR. The gentleman from Georgia is now recognized for 1\1/4\ minutes.

I demand a recorded vote. A recorded vote was ordered. The SPEAKER pro tempore. This will be a 5-minute vote. The vote was taken by electronic device, and there were--ayes 253, noes 167, not voting 13, as follows: [Roll No. 888] AYES--253…

I thank the chairman for yielding to me because we want to acknowledge the committee's parliamentarian, Allison Halataei, on her last day of service to the committee. Allie has been an expert on House and committee rules, has ruled fairly…

If you think that this bill should go further, then why would FDA need to have H.R. 3010 be made more likely to kill regulations that control jobs and health?

I want to begin our discussion this morning with the reference that Federal regulations impose an annual cost of $1.75 trillion on business. I would like the Members to know that the reference made to this study is the Crain study. I'd…

Just a moment. These are not lobbyists. I don't know if these organizations have any offices here. But the Union of Concerned Scientists probably doesn't have any lobbyists. I doubt if the American Lung Association does.

I am pleased to yield 1 minute to a distinguished member of our committee, the gentlelady from California, Judy Chu.

I am pleased to yield 5 minutes to the ranking member of the Courts, Commercial and Administrative Law Subcommittee, the gentleman from Tennessee, Steve Cohen.

I would just like to point out that the Crain study referred to already by the distinguished chairman of the committee, apparently he hasn't found out that it's been held in error in a number of ways but mostly by the Crain study people…

Members of the House, it's important for us to realize who else has difficulty in supporting a bill that ends up creating unsafe products, promotes dirty air, and other kinds of harms to our citizenry. The American Lung Association is…

I thank the gentlelady from New York. My friend on the other side from Missouri, who is managing the bill, I was happy to hear you say that this measure that we are examining does nothing to hinder the rulemaking process. And I'd like to…

I yield myself such time as I may consume. I too am prepared to close on this side. Ladies and gentlemen of the House, we have two starkly opposing views of what this bill does. I have over 70 organizations that are from the labor…

I would, except that your side has far more time than my side does. I reserve the balance of my time.

In just a minute I'll be very pleased to. The Environmental Defense Fund, the Friends of the Earth, and the Union of Concerned Scientists are all in agreement with us. And so I want you to know that the medical people that have spoken…
