On the recordJune 20, 2012
Reclaiming my time, I yield myself 1 additional minute. The reason I ask for more time is, as I understand the McKinley bill, which was adopted by the House, it would prohibit EPA from regulating coal ash because it would be designated possibly as hazardous. And the argument has been that that would be a problem when it is to be used as a substance for concrete and building materials. But I don't believe that to be the case. Now I think that the committee, with the Senate and the House, ought to complete its business. But I don't think your amendment is needed under any circumstances. That is why I urge Members to vote against this instruction because it is trying to interject in that highway bill something that's really not part of the highway bill and something that, on its own, should not be adopted in the form of the McKinley bill. I reserve the balance of my time. Mr. McKINLEY. Mr. Speaker, how much time do I have remaining? The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman from West Virginia has 5\1/2\ minutes remaining. The gentleman from California has 1\1/2\ minutes. Mr. McKINLEY. Mr. Speaker, I yield 2 minutes of my time to my fellow engineering colleague from the State of Texas (Mr. Barton). (Mr. BARTON of Texas asked and was given permission to revise and extend his remarks.)
