“this amendment before us is the one I described in my opening statement which will save 22,000 manufacturing jobs in 23 States. Let me repeat so that all will know what we are debating today, and that is whether we will decide to kill 22,000 manufacturing jobs in 23 States across America. With this amendment, we will decide whether to close at least three American manufacturing plants. We will decide today whether we will send thousands of jobs to China. We will decide today whether we will kill thousands of jobs of manufacturing parts suppliers. We will decide today whether we will kill thousands of jobs of those dependent on a manufacturing paycheck. We will decide all of this with this very important amendment. Our answers must be a resounding no to killing 22,000 manufacturing jobs. Our answer must be a resounding no to sending more jobs to China by a State regulation. Our answers must be a resounding no to closing manufacturing plants. A 'no' vote on this proposal and the underlying proposal is a vote to send thousands of jobs abroad. Why are these jobs at risk? Quite simply a single agency in a single State has its own ideas of how to solve problems in the environment. The problem is they do so without a care in the world as to the consequences of their actions--the loss of jobs and the danger that it entails.”
