Mike Pompeo

This is about politics, right? That is why Mr. Podesta is over at EPA working on this.

You are going to get this much less--or this much more of something that is really good.

It was unlawful, it was lawless, much like you are proposing here.

On rollcall Nos. 308 and 310 I was not available to cast my vote in person. Had I been present, I would have voted ``no.'' Mr. Speaker, on rollcall Nos. 309, 311, and 312 I was not available to cast my vote in person. Had I been present, I…

I have an amendment at the desk. The CHAIR. The Clerk will report the amendment. The Clerk read as follows: Page 5, lines 17 through 21, after each dollar amount, insert ``(reduced to $0)''. Page 6, line 7, after the dollar amount, insert…

Woman, today, I rise to ask my fellow Members of Congress to take one small step towards fiscal sanity. Chairman Wolf has done very nice work on this bill, but we are all familiar with agencies that have outlived their usefulness and no…

What is taking place today in America's Veterans Administration may be the most egregious case of friendly fire in the history of the United States of America. This harm to our veterans from our team is coming not from firearms, but from…

I view it as nothing more than a price control. I think we have seen how that works in creating supply, and I think it is a very dangerous path that you are headed down.

Kansans and Americans across the country are exhausted by a job market that is failing them. The most recent report in March showed absolutely no improvement in employment. In fact, for women, we saw an increase in unemployment. Madam…

I am here this morning to acknowledge the Wichita State University men's basketball team and its unparalleled success this year. The number 2 ranked Shockers are the only team in the Nation that remains undefeated. At 34-0, the Wichita…

The House has debated legislation authored by Representative Mike Pompeo to bring some discipline and accountability to the pipeline permitting process.

This is about global leadership. This isn't about actually impacting climate change. This is about feeling good about ourselves.

I think we should get rid of them all.

Science is about testable propositions, right? You satisfy the regulations and this is the impact we would expect this would have on climate change.

You know, we heard from some folks on the other side today the Republicans aren't interested in solutions.

Yes, I appreciate that, real health effects of these regulations impacting folks adversely as opposed to what the proponents of these rules would say they are going to improve the health of citizens in Arkansas and places like…

I am not quite as sanguine that we are in a place where we are quite ready to move down this path.

Typically we regulate when there is a market failure.

I serve on the House Intelligence Committee, where I spend time trying to figure out how to keep America safe, and on the Energy and Commerce Committee, where I think about how to keep America free. But today, I want to talk about how…

I thank Chairman Whitfield and Chairman Upton for helping me work this bill through our committee. It is great to have it on the floor today. We now have a bipartisan piece of legislation aimed at making simple, commonsense reforms to the…

A couple of points are worth noting to make sure that everybody understands exactly what we are up against. There has been some suggestion that this is unnecessary, and maybe in the eyes of some in Washington, some political officials, it…

The EPA already asserts that it has authority to regulate greenhouse gas emissions--and methane is defined as a greenhouse gas. The EPA's New Source Performance Standards capture GHG emissions above a certain threshold. Permits are already…

There has been reference that Ms. Castor presented relating to what the industry wants that says this will actually mess it up. It will make pipeline permitting take longer. Let me read for you what was written in a letter to me on…

I urge my colleagues to vote in opposition to the motion to recommit. Madam Speaker, while we share every one of our colleagues' concerns about pipeline safety, nothing in this legislation does anything to impact the safety of pipelines…

I just reiterate there is enormous importance to this legislation. While I appreciate that the gentleman from Michigan offered his amendment in a friendly tone, it guts the legislation in its entirety. I also want to offer that H.R. 1900…
