I thank my friend from Florida for that. Mr. Speaker, the last Member that spoke talked about closing coal- fired electric plants. It is amazing that the President just last month put in abeyance an EPA rule as it related to just that issue. He put in abeyance that rule because he said that it was going to cost jobs at a time when we could least afford closing plants and cutting jobs. The President gets it, and I applaud him for doing just that. I reserve the balance of my time.
