I would like to inquire how much time is remaining on both sides. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman from Kentucky has 4\3/4\ minutes remaining. The gentleman from Illinois has 4 minutes remaining.
During the almost 6 years that I have been chairman of this subcommittee, we've had 40 hearings that have looked at various EPA rules and proposals that affect or will affect the Nation's energy and industrial sectors.
There are strong feelings on the issue because many people, and we are speaking for our constituents, believe that EPA is exceeding its legal authority under the direction of a president who is trying to impose his will on climate change…
We have no further speakers on our side of the aisle except for myself, and I think I have the right to close. I don't know if the gentleman from Illinois has additional speakers or if he would like to go at this time.
