While we are encouraged by this discussion the legislation is helping to create, we are concerned that this mandate on auto makers will not create the level playing field for fuels that is paramount to ANGA.

Thank you for your indulgence.

Well, and I would also say that we have--we produce so much distillers dry grains that we are exporting distillers dry grains to other countries throughout the world, China, in particular, in their feedstock, so again, addressing the food…

One of the great things we see here, ``In Washington, D.C., both the metropolitan area subway system (Metro) and the new Ronald Reagan Building and International Trade Center were built with''--you guessed it--fly ash and concrete. ``Other…

If the House is going to act on this issue, we need to understand why this needs to be done, and how best to make it work for Federal and State regulators, the regulated community, and the U.S. taxpayer.

Great, thank you very much. It sounds like there is much in agreement, and great possibilities forward.

I agree with you. I think people are just itching to move from this to this, away from that.

It is great to be down here. This is why this provision of this bill is really pertinent to the highway bill. Here it is: Flex concrete, fly ash, lighter, more durable. I have two documents I brought to the floor. The second one reads in…

I think it undoubtedly makes sense to modernize to electronic filing.

I enjoyed listening to my Republican colleagues talk about the Constitution and how a bill becomes a law. I taught freshman civics. And when a bill passes both Chambers, the bill then goes to the President. The President then signs a bill…

The Nuclear Regulatory Commission, the NRC, has adequate funds to resume licensing activities for the Yucca nuclear waste repository as called for in the Nuclear Waste Policy Act, but it refuses to do so. The NRC claims it has the legal…

The information we needed to have was which direction do we need to go in case there is an emergency and a disaster.

I demand a recorded vote. The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to clause 6 of rule XVIII, further proceedings on the amendment offered by the gentleman from Illinois will be postponed. Amendment Offered by Ms. Loretta Sanchez of California

I have an amendment at the desk. The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will report the amendment. The Clerk read as follows: Page 28, line 16, after the dollar amount insert ``(reduced by $10,000,000)''. Page 49, line 25, after the second dollar…

As I think was Congresswoman Eshoo said so eloquently, technology mandates choke off innovation.

I come back to the floor again--this is my 13th time, really--doing a tour of the United States highlighting the locations where we currently store high-level nuclear waste in this country. {time} 1040 With the end of this location, I will…

We can't run away from the United Nations because it is too important a body for us to ignore.

wouldn't that disenfranchise those countries that think they are trying to use it for their own regime stability and regime preservation but it would really hurt them in the global economy and developmental process?

International control of the Internet through the ITU should give everyone cause for concern.

I really enjoy this discussion because it is when free nations give up their decision-making process to a world organization that is not totally defined to be free, then there should be credible concerns.

I've come back to the floor, as I have almost weekly since this Congress, to talk about nuclear waste. It's kind of unique to follow my friend from Ohio (Mr. Kucinich) because we are a nuclearized country; we do have nuclear weapons. A lot…

Yes, because I mean, as much as you try, you just can't defend what is going on in West Virginia, and I yield back my time.

Before I talk about Yucca Mountain, let me just respond to my colleague from Virginia. Since 2002, food stamps have increased 267 percent, and this reconciliation bill will cut, I think, about 3 percent. Again, since 2002, food stamps have…

We are deeply concerned that EPA has the lowest number predicting in terms of gigawatts that are going to come off the grid as a result of the Obama administration's policies.

So that is not really a timely response to fix a problem.
