Mr. President, can you imagine the free market person that Senator Cruz is wanting the government to set prices? This is dirty Big Oil versus clean-burning ethanol. (Applause.) And for the benefit of people on the other side of the aisle, I had conversations with Mr. Regan this week. He said that your President-- our President--was for ethanol. He also said, and I know, campaigning in Iowa, Biden campaigned for ethanol. So this is an opportunity. And this business that this isn't going to cost anything--EPA itself said that there is no compliance cost. And EPA in the Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals made very clear that these waivers for small refineries were violating the law. (Applause.) The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from Illinois.
