David McIntosh

The consensus is that it has been in the Clean Air Act, in the language cited there.

They did not intend for that provision of the Clean Air Act to give authority for EPA to regulate carbon dioxide.

He is essentially stuck with that rule, other than the courts that are available to him.

What the REINS Act would do is say that decision... should actually be a legislative decision.

It is the private party that has been affected by the regulation.

Unconstitutional is the subject that Ms. Katzen has referred to.

Well, as McIntosh and Davis and I know, we pass the laws, we oversight the laws, we do not enforce the laws.

Let me point out that the Administrative Procedure Act also constrains how the executive branch writes its regulations...

If Congress had a procedure in place, they could reassert that intent.

To say there is no effect is not to understand the administrative process.

I want to commend Representative Davis for his work in introducing the REINS Act.

Jim Ault deserves the gratitude of his county, state, and nation and I thank him here today on the floor of the House of Representatives.

Jim's work has given so many people, the most precious gift possible, hope.

Jim Ault, who is currently retired from General Motors but hasn't been spending his time sitting around. Jim by working tirelessly on behalf of the less fortunate epitomizes a Hoosier Hero.

It has always been my strong belief that individuals and communities can do a better job of caring for those who need help in our society than the federal government.

The Bloomington Rotary Club deserves the gratitude of their country, state, and nation and I thank them here today on the floor of the House of Representatives.

They are true heroes in my book, doing good works for others with no other motive than Christian charity.

It has always been my strong belief that individuals and communities can do a better job of caring for those who need help in our society than the federal government.

After weeks of reviewing the evidence, quiet reflection and prayer, a few days ago I reached the decision that I would be voting in favor of impeaching President Clinton
