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.

The President gets it, and I applaud him for doing just that. I reserve the balance of my time.
