The Public Record
American politician
I asked him what this meant and he said, well, basically distribution of income. What? The administration is making a decision on regulation on the basis of distribution of income? I thought the market was supposed to decide that, not a…
Given that we have seen agencies respond to the Executive order by stating that they don't need to make any changes, I think this is what really concerns me.
What we have seen from the Administration in the last 2 years is, in our opinion not a full exercise in responsibility to review these regulations.
The number of regulations the Administration is issuing, in our humble opinion, is rising, not falling.
These agencies are going to be using these amorphous methods to determine the economic value of a regulation, and they are subjective.
I am also concerned about what appears to be a sort of amorphous type of standards that was articulated by the President.
I do not support those that suppress innovation and unnecessarily burden small businesses.
I support government regulations that equate to effective protection of the public's health and safety.
The importance of congressional oversight of the Executive branch cannot be overstated.
My colleagues, it is important that rhetoric is matched with measurable results and actions.
Appropriate consideration of the economic and employment impacts of the regulations is essential for protecting the Nation's economic health and individual freedom.
The Obama Administration's regulatory agenda released this past fall identifies 4,225 rules under development.
The pace in recent years has been breathtaking, given the Nation's dire economic situation.
We convene this hearing of the Subcommittee on Oversight and Investigations today to gather information concerning the Administration's views and plans for regulatory reform.
I thank my colleague. Mr. Speaker, perhaps the gentleman from New Jersey didn't listen to me when I just spoke. It's creating 150 new government agencies, and these are all government jobs. So, if you're talking about increasing jobs…
At that point, that was not the bill that Barbara Boxer introduced in the Senate. That was a bill that was instituted and created in the House.
This bill improves access to clinical trials. It will allow people with rare diseases like cystic fibrosis to participate in clinical trials that provide nominal compensation without, and this is the key part, without the risk of losing…
I rise in strong support of H.R. 3101, the Twenty-First Century Communications and Video Accessibility Act. We know there's all kinds of new devices coming on. Mr. Markey mentioned the iPad.
It's really outrageous that you sit here and tell us that you're going to punt to the unified command, when we had 11 people killed, we have had a huge environmental disaster. And you're still sitting here as a CEO of BP? Frankly, I would…
I am delighted at this time to allow this commemoration of this legendary man and his historic role in Hawaii to be honored on this date, and I support this resolution and urge all of my colleagues to support it also.
Once again, I thank Chairwoman Herseth Sandlin for her leadership and Ranking Member Dr. Boozman and Mr. Teague for their work to bring us a bipartisan bill. I urge my colleagues to support it, as amended, to provide for the establishment…
I urge my colleagues to support H.R. 3976, as amended, a bill to extend certain expiring provisions providing enhanced protections to servicemembers relating to mortgages and mortgage foreclosure.
