I demand a recorded vote. A recorded vote was ordered. The SPEAKER pro tempore. This is a 5-minute vote. The vote was taken by electronic device, and there were--ayes 256, noes 165, not voting 9, as follows: [Roll No. 282] AYES--256…

I just implore all our colleagues to take a good look at what this can have an effect on our general populace, I mean, the human impact, and I trust that they will vote ``no'' on this bill. Mr. Chair, I yield back the balance of my time.

There is one other thing that I want to bring to the attention of this committee. One of the potential human health applications related to unregulated discharges to water is drinking water. In May of 2017, the Natural Resources Defense…

I am troubled, however, by the recent press reports that the new administration plans to eliminate nearly 40 separate programs at EPA, including the Brownfields Program.

Yes. And to what level?

I hope it will continue to receive bipartisan support in the future, and we support an increase for the EPA for this program.

Based on current appropriations to the Brownfields Program, we know that EPA can only fund 30 percent of qualified applications.

Let's hope the President agrees with him.

Well, I realize that this is not directly addressed in the FEMA, but it is important to note that many of the tragedies, especially in bus or rail systems, sometimes mental health plays a big part in people--well, being antisocial.

Good morning, and listen, America. One of the Affordable Care Act's biggest successes was increasing mental health services for all the people through mental health parity protections and Medicaid expansion. The GOP's pay-more-for-less…
