On the recordNovember 19, 2014
Mr. Speaker, I thank the gentleman for yielding to me. Mr. Speaker, I am a strong supporter of science-based policies. Throughout my career, I have always welcomed expert scientific advice and relied upon facts and scientific evidence to legislate. But the bill we are considering today is not a sound science bill; it is actually an anti-science bill. It would take away the ability of decisionmakers to rely on published, peer-reviewed studies to protect our health and our planet. Mr. Speaker, that is why I am opposed to the next bill that we will consider. The SPEAKER pro tempore. Does the gentleman from Texas continue to yield time on this legislation, H.R. 5728?
