Tom Latham: “I thank the gentleman for yielding. Obviously, we all want pipeline…”

On the recordJune 27, 2012

I thank the gentleman for yielding. Obviously, we all want pipeline safety. That is the number one issue, but what you're talking about here is truly beyond the pale as far as any kind of common sense. We've got to find a balance, like you've talked about. The overreach that we're seeing in so many areas of the Federal Government causes things like this that are just simply nonsensical. I appreciate the gentleman for bringing the issue forward and would want to work with him in the future to find a resolution to your concerns.
