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…

If we get it, then I think we will be able to move forward. If we don't, it will make things more difficult.

Her focus on the streamlining, or as I call it, the steamrolling, of the National Environmental Policy Act is deeply unfortunate.

Because what we heard here and what we heard in our private meetings with these nominees did not line up with what we read in the QFRs.

while our colleagues from Tennessee and Missouri are here, I just want to tell you that along with Lisa Murkowski and Tom Harkin, I worked on this issue when we were debating the Affordable Care Act. As I recall, a provision on menu…

I understand it is likely that proposal will not be a 50-State solution. Is it going to be a proposal that will invite further litigation, uncertainty, and lack of predictability?

Would you say that it would be your primary responsibility as the CEQ Chair to help prevent or eliminate the damage to our environment?

I think that is a pretty good analogy. We need some harmony here in this place. Maybe you can help with some of that.

The CEQ Chair also plays a critical role in protecting the environment through implementation of the National Environmental Policy Act, or NEPA.

Mr. President, if you want to help us, you will do this and support this policy with respect to CAF standards, fuel efficiency standards and tailpipe standards.

We want a 50-State solution that actually is good for the environment, the economy, these companies and it is a win-win.

I have called on the President to change course in that regard.

I am always looking for commonsense solutions that are good for our environment and our economy.

The situation we have now, with the most vulnerable people in our hemisphere putting themselves in the hands of the most violent criminal organizations in the world, is not acceptable.

It is good to see you. Thank you very much for your service.

as my colleagues and the Presiding Officer may know, I spent many years of my life in the Navy. I spent some 23 years, starting at the age of 21, on Active and Reserve Duty in the U.S. Navy as a naval flight officer, and I spent most of…
