Technology has advanced significantly over the last 32 years, and we shouldn't be relying on carbon copies to track potentially dangerous shipments.

You have correctly quoted the numbers as I understand them from the CBO about what the sequesters would do to NIH, and that loss of 2,300 grants, which would come already 3 months in the fiscal year, would represent about a quarter of the…

If there is something that I am most concerned about in terms of an event that could really disrupt and do serious damage to the progress that we now see in medical research, this is it.

A waiver request does not have to come from a public entity. It can come from elsewhere as well. I yield the balance of my time to the gentleman from Massachusetts (Mr. Markey). {time} 2010

This amendment would change the law--the Clean Air Act-- that authorizes EPA to waive pollution control requirements for motor vehicle fuels where there's an extremely unusual fuel supply circumstance. Well, we want that ability to waive…

I thank the gentleman for yielding to me. The Clean Air Act was adopted in 1970, signed by President Nixon. Changes were made in 1990, signed by President George H.W. Bush. The heart of the Clean Air Act has been that EPA relies on the…

But you claim that it's going to increase it by many dollars, and I think you're incorrect.

Delaying action is a false economy. For every dollar of investment avoided in the power sector in this decade, over $4 will be needed to be spent after 2020.

Today's hearing is no surprise, but it is deeply disappointing. The Republican majority is holding yet another hearing to condemn EPA action to reduce carbon pollution.

We generally concluded that the longer we wait, the more expensive it will be to reach a certain goal in terms of carbon dioxide concentrations.

I commend the Obama administration for its focus on developing America's green job economy.

Unfortunately, this Congress is moving in the wrong direction.

This Congress has earned its title as the most anti-environmental Congress in history.

The environmental case for a shift to green energy is indisputable, and the economic reasons are just as strong.

The Supreme Court is going to make a decision fairly soon and they are going to disappoint a lot of people, whatever they do.

The IEA concluded that we have about 5 years to shift from traditional fossil fuel investments to clean, low-carbon energy to avoid a dangerous climate change.

Instead of holding hearings on the science and the risk posed by climate change, the majority opted to hold one hearing after another bashing EPA for every effort it makes to address the problem.

Thank you very much, Mr. Chairman.

Well, we hear a lot about the technology changing the business model for distributing music, but technology is also changing the business model for the artist in other ways.

We applaud you, Representative Eshoo and Congressman Issa, for introducing House Concurrent Resolution 42 which opposes the FM chip.

Dionne Warwick come testify in Congress. She is no better off today than she was yesterday.

EPA should be enforcing the laws on the books. That is common sense.

Frankly, the absurdity of the anti-EPA rhetoric coming from the other side of the aisle and from some industry groups is stunning.

As technology advances, it is important that we do not lose sight of the artists, musicians, and songwriters whose work compels consumers to seek out these innovative new services.

This smear attack ignores most of what Dr. Armendariz said that day, and it ignores the facts.
