But here is the problem: We are not going to get it perfect.

Are you worried, though, that this 7-day provision might become a loophole?

It appears to me that you are operating within the confines of the current statutory framework and doing the best you could under that regime.

This seems like a particularly dangerous structure to me.

We have learned a lot through our investigation, especially that FDA's authorities over compounding pharmacies are broken and inadequate.

It has been 10 months since we saw the tragic fungal meningitis outbreak caused by the New England Compounding Center in Massachusetts. More than 60 people have died, over 740 people were sickened, and more than 13,000 others in 20 States…

TSCA is an important law because of its role in protecting the American public from dangerous chemicals--and it is long overdue for strengthening.

Ms. White, you mentioned in your testimony that EPA didn't have access to all of the information it needed...

Four years ago, this committee spent a considerable time examining the Toxic Substances Control Act, and worked to craft policy solutions for its failures.

Both of these sections are in need of reform, and I welcome the panel and their testimony.

This information empowers families, researchers, and consumer advocates who wish to educate or understand the chemicals we are exposed to.

I believe these provisions further incapacitate the FCC, and I would like to ask our witnesses questions about two of these provisions.

The FCC will approve a transaction if considering the potential consumer benefits and harms, it determines that the transaction is in the public interest.

My colleagues, on behalf of the Safe Climate Caucus, I want to commend the President for his Climate Action Plan he announced on June 25. As the President recognized, we have a moral obligation to our children and our grandchildren to…

The arbitrary deadlines established by this bill raise serious concerns, but the worst provision may be the one that automatically grants environmental permits for a pipeline.

Cyber espionage damages our economy and places national security at risk.

The current system is getting pipelines permitted. This is what we want.

This bill aimed at speeding up FERC permitting could actually end up having the opposite effect.

The bill doesn't start the clock when the application is complete. It starts the clock when FERC issues a notice that an application has been filed even if it isn't complete; isn't that right?

I just want to clarify for the record, people aren't against pipelines per se, and my opposition to the XL pipeline is not because it is a pipeline, but because of additional greenhouse gases that would be expended just to get that dirty…

This bill has not been thought through.

Today's hearing focuses on Congressman Pompeo's bill, which addresses the permitting of interstate natural gas pipelines.

Block grants, or per capita grants... simply shift the cost onto the beneficiaries, providers, and States.
