Ed Whitfield: “The commitment that I am asking for from you and others at FDA is to work with us in a sincere way to improve this…”

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

The Clean Power Plan was like picking up the Constitution and tearing it up.

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.
