It is interesting that we are having a disagreement on how much we should cut the EPA. It is not the argument that we are cutting the EPA. Obviously, that is a fact. We have cut the EPA with this upcoming budget by 37 percent over the last few years. I know that the Administrator is doing a lot to create efficiencies with the EPA and to operate that absolutely more effectively for our health and for the benefit of the United States. Madam Chair, with that, I believe this amendment just simply goes too far. I oppose this amendment and would urge my colleagues to vote ``no,'' and I yield back the balance of my time. The Acting CHAIR. The question is on the amendment offered by the gentleman from South Carolina (Mr. Norman). The question was taken; and the Acting Chair announced that the noes appeared to have it. =========================== NOTE =========================== September 8, 2017, on page H7208, the following appeared: The question was taken; and the Acting Chair announced that the ayes appeared to have it. The online version has been corrected to read: The question was taken; and the Acting Chair announced that the noes appeared to have it. ========================= END NOTE =========================
