The gentleman is absolutely correct. Make no mistake about it. H.R. 2250 has real legal effects, and those effects weaken our protections from air pollution and harm the health of all Americans, especially our children. No matter how many times Republicans may want to say that the bill won't harm health and that it doesn't weaken health standards, it just simply is not accurate. So I urge support for this amendment, and I yield back the balance of my time.

More from Henry Waxman
It is not for the President to say or to obstruct congressional deliberations and investigations or other legitimate functions.
The House's need for all the facts surrounding suspected Presidential offences cannot of course be circumscribed by an executive determination of what is relevant.
I think of how Henry Waxman showed America the true face of the tobacco industry, exposing decades of deceit.
I hope this committee will initiate a detailed investigation examining this network of front groups and trade associations, determine who funds them and expose how they coordinate with industry.
