Ed Whitfield: “Chairman Hartzler, thank you and Ranking Member Pocan. And thank you very much for giving us an opportunity to visit…”

So many critics say that that flexibility argument--we're giving maximum flexibility to the State--is really a red herring.

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…

Well, some States would disagree with that. I've talked to many of them, and they view--even though you went through a process, that you set the standard.

If that happens and if you're still at the EPA I want you to go to Fairfield, Texas with Congressman Bill Flores and explain to those people who've lost their jobs how you've improved their environment.
