Mr. Chairman, first of all, let me say a word of thanks to my colleagues on both sides of the aisle for allowing me the time that they did and for allowing us to speak in favor of H.R. 5. I think that will be a positive and constructive thing for us to have that debate. We will talk about what we have heard today, the threat to public health. Let me just make a quick comment. This bill is no threat to public health. This just simply says that if we think it is good enough to be a national policy, then it is good enough to fund. It does not remove the clean air standards. It does not remove clean water standards. It simply says that if we think it is good enough to legislate and mandate across the country, it is good enough to pay for.
