I think he is referring to actual contractual limitation on a retail location from placing these things in their retail location.

I think the basic premise is that in any business, and as the government has sent a signal, and you have made capital investment to respond to that Federal law, I think no one would be supportive of the government changing the rules to…

The President's health care law is unworkable. Hardworking Americans know it, and, unfortunately, they're going to see their premiums skyrocket. Small business owners know it. They're going to have to scale back hiring and maybe even let…

First of all, I want to say nice job to Chuck Fleischmann for his comments on his father. Then, before my colleague from Maryland leaves, I want to make sure that he understands that we understand the history of this whole budget process…

I will yield back my time.

I would hope that you would concur with that?

I would rather he come talk to my coal miners, who won't be able to afford to send their kids to college because of what his announcement did yesterday.

It is great to come down on the floor to just take a few minutes to talk about energy policy in this country. Republicans on this side and many of my friends across the aisle, we do believe and speak about an all-of-the-above energy…

I think that there may be a time, based upon the demand of liquid transportation fuels right now, and our supply and our renewables that we might be able to export refined product across the world to those in need.

That is what this debate is about, and everyone knows it, and so that is why we need to move forward for jobs and lower costs of energy and the like.

If the court orders the NRC to resume the license review, will you honor the court's decision and support the NRC process?

I urge members to make every effort at this hearing to learn the fundamentals of current law.

I, for one, think we should closely examine TSCA and be open to legislation to update and reform it.

There's good news in our pursuit of a repository to hold our Nation's spent nuclear fuel and nuclear waste, although it went largely unreported. Officials from both the Department of Energy and the Nuclear Regulatory Commission have…

To my colleague who just spoke, I say she's going to have an opportunity with voting on the Keystone XL bill to address the jobs issue this week. But let me talk about this most recent IRS scandal. I have a local, well-respected attorney…

This is not a new concept. Legislation has been introduced previously by my friends across the aisle to ensure that federal agencies comply with all federal and state environmental laws.

That was one of the pieces of legislation that I helped originally cosponsor to get to small businesses.

In essence, the state Partnership Act, giving states more of a role in the whole process as----

So I can, then, call the State of New Jersey and say, I have got a city manager who says it is going to be helpful to him to review all his local ordinances every 3 years.

When we got small business out of the liability regulations, the de minimis parties, and that was a successful piece of legislation that we were able to pick out what was wrong and how we could fix it and the like.
