On the recordJuly 23, 2012
I thank the gentlelady from Alabama for making the point, especially on the issue of farm dust. I can remember a committee hearing we had a month ago where the assistant administrator of the EPA was asked directly whether or not the EPA regulates farm dust, and she denied that the EPA is going to regulate farm dust. But when she was asked whether or not the EPA regulates dust from farms, the answer was yes. Now, only in Washington, D.C., Mr. Speaker, can farm dust and dust from farms be two different things. But somebody who has also been standing the line to make sure that they are fighting for America's job creators, somebody who's been doing the hard work it takes to get this economy back on track, and somebody who has experience himself as a job creator, running a small business, putting people to work, is our colleague from Colorado, Scott Tipton, who has worked tirelessly to make sure that this country's policies reflect a nation of job creators instead of a nation of bureaucrats. With that, I would like to thank the gentleman from Colorado (Mr. Tipton) for joining us tonight.
