I think Flores is a complicated matter, and it is before the courts today.

I would also offer and agree with the Chief that the TVPRA be amended to make sure that all juveniles are treated the same.

The idea of having sufficient judges, be able to hire the more expedient way

What can you offer us that we can work with?

That is to take responsibility for these kids.

I have to tell you, I was surprised at how quickly you were able to agree to the statement in the last 24 hours.

My time has expired. Thank you.

I want to thank our staffs. They worked very hard with GAO.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

Maybe most areas, but a bunch of the areas that are not in attainment now, again, it just seems counterintuitive that EPA has not modeled the effects of all of its planned clean air rollbacks on cross-State pollution; yet EPA feels like…

We are seeing climate change driven sea level rise that is going to require us to redraw the map of my damn State.

I hope that you will give your very serious and earnest consideration to the concerns of people like me from coastal States.

I viewed your predecessor's tenure as one characterized by tawdry personal behavior in office.

The scaling back of our bipartisan chemical safety law, one of the prouder moments I have had as a Senator, was set in motion by Scott Pruitt.

I see you as a remedy to three of those four.

I do a lot of customer calls, and I know my colleagues do as well, businesses large and small.

I believe would be a lose-lose-lose situation; a loss for an industry that needs certainty and predictability, a loss for consumers, and a loss for our environment.

We thought Delaware's case was a slam dunk, and I was shocked when EPA proposed to reject these petitions.

Ninety-four percent of our air pollution in Delaware comes from sources outside of us.

A win-win is what we are looking for.

The damage that Scott Pruitt has done to this Agency will not be easily undone.

I don't expect to hear as much as a peep from Mr. Wheeler today about used mattress shopping or Chick-fil-A or fancy moisturizers.

We can do better than that, and we need to.

Mr. Wheeler has told me repeatedly that he shares my goal of striking a deal between automakers and the State of California and other States on fuel economy and greenhouse gas tailpipe standards.

I have been asking for an oversight hearing with the EPA Administrator for many months, and I am pleased that our Committee is holding that hearing today.
