Ed Whitfield: “I would like to add on the words of the gentleman from Vermont, first…”

On the recordMarch 4, 2014

I would like to add on the words of the gentleman from Vermont, first of all, once again, just to say how much we enjoyed working with him and the others on this important legislation. We do firmly believe that the American people will benefit from this. We all recognize that energy is one of the components that goes a long way in determining how competitive America can be in the global marketplace, and any time you can improve efficiency, you improve that competitiveness. So I would urge all of our Members to support H.R. 2126, the Energy Efficiency Improvement Act of 2014. Mr. Speaker, I yield back the balance of my time.
