I want to take this opportunity to urge you, Mr. Perciasepe, to do everything you can to control carbon pollution.

We need to spend the money. We need to make the commitment.

EPA is making our air safer to breathe and our water safer to drink.

These cuts are irrational. They will going to hinder efforts to protect Americans from radiation after a terrorist attack or disaster.

Will the Agency still have to significantly reduce inspections and other compliance and enforcement activities?

This hearing is supposed to focus on the President's fiscal year 2014 budget request for the EPA.

We need environmental policies that are based on the best science, not ideology.

I commend President Obama for recognizing this through his administration's significant efforts to educate consumers about fraud.

Fraud against the elderly is a very serious crime with the potential for severe harm, including lost retirement funds, ruined credit, and an emotional toll on victims and their families that is not easy to overcome.

Imagine getting an email from a dear friend that she had gotten mugged while on vacation, that her cash and credit cards were taken at gunpoint, and she needs you to wire money so that she can pay her hotel bill.

What is a reasonable target for methane leakage?

Today's hearing is the subcommittee's first opportunity to focus on liquefied natural gas or LNG exports.

These measures are cost-effective as well?

Methane emissions from the natural gas industry are a challenge in that regard.

We need to think about LNG exports through the lens of climate change.

U.S. emissions have dropped in recent years. But what matters most is whether U.S. emissions are on track to decline in the future.

Climate change is the biggest energy challenge we face as a country.

There is no question that a significant energy transition is underway here in the United States.

I am pleased you are holding this hearing on tourism in the United States.

Eliminating the paper pedigree until we have something else in place would be creating greater loopholes for insertion of counterfeit drugs and substandard drugs into the distribution chain.

I agree that we need to allow enough time for the technology to evolve and for the system to be put in place.

Today's hearing will examine ways to improve the integrity of our drug supply chain. The entry of falsified and substandard drugs into our drug supply chain poses a grave public health threat.

Last month, I joined with my colleagues Representatives Eshoo and DeGette to call for a hearing on Lifeline.
