"I have serious concerns about certain aspects of these bills. I think they are a work in progress."

"It is natural that a state would want to be able to tell EPA what to focus on and what to spend money on."

"I hope that members of the Subcommittee are given a full opportunity to understand these bills before they are brought to markup."

"The states don't always do that, though, because they want federal resources and expertise brought to bear to get sites cleaned up."
