I really appreciate having the opportunity to testify.

People do want to know what it is going to cost to insure their car. And I will tell you what, I have got to tell you, the answer is with the insurance agents.

Madam Chairman, I thank the chairman for the hard work on this vital appropriations bill. I met with some veterans back in Butler on Tuesday morning, and their concern is with the Butler campus and the building of a new health care center…

I never talked to one person that came through those doors that said to me, hey, by the way, Kelly, I need to look at that information on, let me see, what is it, the relative collision insurance cost information.

So my advice would be trust the States. The States in which this is happening know exactly what they are doing; they have been at it for generations.

When I am back home in western Pennsylvania, there is a great deal of concern about the Federal Government getting involved in areas where those people in those States don't think they should.

I think all of us are concerned. Sound science, I am totally in favor of. Political science, I wonder because a lot of this is the result of if you don't succeed at first, try it again.

I think the concern is things change rather quickly and a process that all of a sudden that was not policy before becomes policy, does not go through the regular process.

On May 11, Roy Seneca, a spokesman for the regional EPA office said they tested 59 wells in Dimock and found the fracking had nothing to do with any contamination of the water.

The conclusion then would be that the EPA doesn't need to be concerned anymore with Dimock, PA with the testing, so the water is safe.

Ninety-six percent of it by the way, we have a slide that shows that. The President is saying wow, look what we have done but 96 percent of the increase in U.S. oil production has occurred on non-Federal lands.
