The EPA has estimated that restricting the use of high-polluting engines in 10,000 glider vehicles over the lifetime of those vehicles would prevent the emission of up to 400,000 tons of NOx and 6,800 tons of particulate matter and prevent up to 1,600 premature deaths.

I am strongly urging this big new class of freshmen Members of Congress, whether they serve on this Committee or not, to honor that commitment to our Nation's veterans.
Some glider manufacturers claim that using a rebuilt engine and a glider vehicle can save on the greenhouse emissions produced in the steelmaking process, but make no mistake, these one-time emissions savings are insignificant compared…
I hope we can take the lessons that are being learned there and make sure that those are used every time with forward-going programs.
The negative effects of air pollution on respiratory health are well-documented.
