If we are going to do big things, it has to be done on a bipartisan basis.

Digital technology and broadband Internet access are dramatically altering how video content is produced, delivered and consumed.

I was the only member of the committee back in the 1980s that voted against the re-regulation of cable.

Regardless of our political point of view, Democrats or Republicans, I know all members agree that NIH is one of the Federal Government's real gems.

There is a regulation for Tier 3 standards for automobiles that will reduce sulfur and other emissions that are very harmful. EPA's analysis says that will contribute a penny per gallon for gasoline. That is the kind of rule that would be…

In the previous amendment, we discussed title II, the Gasoline Regulations Act, which creates a new government committee to do the impossible: conduct an analysis of EPA air quality rules that have not yet even been proposed, using data…

This amendment highlights, Mr. Chairman, the absurdity of title II of the Republican bill. The bill will create a new government bureaucracy to conduct an unrealistic and burdensome study of several clean air rules, none of which have even…

Title II of this bill blocks the EPA from finalizing several important air quality rules until after a new government bureaucracy produces a new analysis of these and other EPA actions. But it's a fool's errand because a new government…

I yield to the gentleman from West Virginia. Mr. McKINLEY. What we're trying to do is allow more time for the conference committee to work rather than to debate the pros and cons of the environmental aspects of it. We want the committee to…

My colleagues, the thing that is so confusing to me is that coal ash is often used as a substitute for Portland cement in concrete to lower the costs; it reduces the waste, reduces the greenhouse gas emissions, and we don't need to pass…

I continue to reserve the balance of my time. Mr. McKINLEY. Mr. Speaker, I yield 2 minutes of the remaining time to the gentleman from Pennsylvania (Mr. Critz).

I now have the pleasure to yield 1 minute to the gentleman from Illinois (Mr. Quigley).

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…

I yield myself an additional 30 seconds. Warren Burke and Megan Renfrew have done tremendous work on this bill. I'd like to express my appreciation for their efforts. I want to thank my own staff: Karen Nelson, Rachel Sher, Eric Flamm, and…

That is your fear? Mr. McKINLEY. There is a stigma associated with the misinformation that's been disseminated. That's correct.

Is your fear that, if the EPA regulates coal ash and it's called hazardous, that that designation will be a stigma and will lead to the nonuse of coal ash by construction companies as a building material? Mr. McKINLEY. Mr. Waxman, I…

My colleagues, the gentleman from Texas told us that he was so moved to come here to correct the record. But he told us three things that are absolutely inaccurate: The President has never said he doesn't want to build new power plants in…

For many years, hazardous waste generators, shippers, processors have expressed a willingness to fund the program through user fees.

At this time I yield 5 minutes to the gentleman from Virginia (Mr. Moran).

At this time I'd like to yield 5 minutes to the gentleman from Illinois (Mr. Rush), the ranking member of the Energy Subcommittee.

I have an amendment at the desk. The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment. The text of the amendment is as follows: Page 14, after line 9, at the end of title II, add the following new section: SEC. 207. PROTECTION AGAINST…

At this time, I'd like to yield 3 minutes to the gentleman from New Jersey (Mr. Pallone), the ranking member of the Health Subcommittee, the subcommittee that was responsible for this legislation in its first instance. I ask unanimous…

One of the reasons that we haven't been able to work all these problems out is that the Republicans, who run the Congress, are afraid to increase taxes even on billionaires.

I think we ought to look at it. The bill calls for a 'Share-in-Savings' contract.

We requested this hearing back in January, and we are looking to see how we modernize the tracking system for hazardous waste shipments in this country.
