Today, we will debate resolutions of disapproval under the Congressional Review Act for the two EPA rules regulating greenhouse gas emissions from new and existing electric generating units. I might say that it is appropriate that we are debating these resolutions today. As we know, the President and other leaders are meeting in France as we speak. They are speaking in generalities; they are not being detailed in their plans. Yet, in America, we are becoming aware more each day of exactly the impact the EPA's regulations are having on the American people. I remind everyone that Congress was not a part of any of this. The White House did not talk to us about any of this. The clean energy plan comes from the White House and is being implemented by the EPA. Mr. Speaker, I yield 2\1/2\ minutes to the gentleman from Oklahoma (Mr. Mullin).
