That is why we can't wait 6 months.

Because the problem is this. I believe at least--I believe 40, which is probably the medium of this.

The evidence of this administration's attack on coal is clear.

I think we are awaiting a response in writing on this question.

I come to the floor again, as I have in the past 2 years, to talk about the location of high-level nuclear waste around this country and compare and contrast it with where we have high-level nuclear waste, mostly spent nuclear fuel, but…

I support an open fuel standard that would look to break our mandate on gasoline by requiring cars and light-duty trucks to operate on a variety of different fuels.

I always say that elected officials need to take big doses of humble pie and humility.

Our members say, tell us what we have to do, and we will do it, but don't turn around and punish us for someone else's behavior or hold us responsible if you later change the rules on us.

Americans are looking for ways to bring down those costs and break our dependence from hostile sources of foreign oil.

It is a matter of fairness, Mr. Chairman, and I look forward to working with you in resolving my concerns with H.R. 4345 in addressing the issue.

You must not trust the EPA. You know I do, don't you?

I am disappointed that we have gone in the opposite direction with this legislation.

I do appreciate this. You know, we haven't really talked MTBE in this committee in a long time.

I support an open fuel standard that would break our mandate on gasoline by requiring cars and light-duty trucks to operate on a variety of different fuels.

Shouldn't Congress be able to give direction on how these funds are spent?

Thank you all for coming.

I couldn't agree more, and of course, I will focus mine on the IDE and the 510(k) issue.

And I would just end by saying what I think we have done is moved our innovators overseas, and I yield back my time.

I come to the floor again to continue to identify and educate you on the various locations where we store high- level nuclear waste around this country and the various positions that our colleagues in the other Chamber have voted either…

This administration promised before the election that they were going to bankrupt coal.

So essentially it is saying you can't go do the one thing that will work until you go do the thing that won't work, which doesn't make any sense to me.

It's been a couple of weeks since I've been able to come down to the floor and talk about high-level nuclear waste. As you know, through the past year, I've been coming to the floor. I am chairman of the Environment and the Economy…
