I might add that health insurance companies and pharmaceutical companies helped write the President's health care bill. And 2 years ago, when the discussion was on the floor about this bill, our friends on the other side of the aisle never…

The program is not broke. Many people may want to use this as a reason to abandon the program. This program is not broke.

On Wednesday Rex Tillerson, the head of ExxonMobil, said that he agreed that global warming is real and manmade, a big moment.

They are a factor. You accept that they are a factor?

Sure, there were benefits from Utility MACT or mercury and air toxic standards, but the primary benefit was not mercury reductions.

And you know it just amazes me sometimes that there seems to be a disconnect with Washington and with more affluent areas of the country who don't understand that they truly are relegating the people that I represent to a lower lifestyle…

That was sold on the basis that mercury emissions were going to be the primary benefit.

But you all continue to mislead the American people.

I personally do not believe that is the way to develop environmental policy through litigation and settlement agreements.

I want to thank the panel for joining us today. We appreciate your testimony.

Many of these new and proposed measures we believe threaten to impose high costs and possible job losses on the American people.

I genuinely believe that Administrator Jackson is misleading the American people either wittingly or unwittingly...

I yield myself such time as I may consume. Madam Speaker, I rise today in support of the Enabling Energy Saving Innovations Act, H.R. 4850, which was introduced by Representative Aderholt of Alabama. This bill fixes a problem with section…

We have no further speakers, so at this time I would just thank the gentleman from Connecticut for bringing this legislation to our attention. I appreciate his patience. It took us a little while to get it to the floor, but I do urge its…

At this time I would like to yield 6 minutes to the gentleman from Alabama (Mr. Aderholt), who is the author of this legislation.

I just want to thank the gentlelady from Florida and the ranking member for working with us on this legislation. I urge its passage, and I yield back the balance of my time. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The question is on the motion offered by…

We can protect our environment and balance regulations that create jobs and new technologies, protecting the public health, increase worker productivity, and promote clear air.

Any action regarding climate change should rest with Congress and not unelected and unaccountable bureaucrats at the Environmental Protection Agency.

These greenhouse gas rules are a regulatory overreach in my view and serve as a backdoor cap and tax policy that Congress rejected in the last Congress.

I think that is pretty obvious.

The volume of regulations, the underestimated cost of the regulations, the direct job loss caused by the regulations, and the very brazen legal theories advocated by EPA attorneys has demonstrated in my view a callous disregard of some…

The purpose of this legislation is simply to ensure that patients undergoing imaging or radiation therapy can feel comfortable that the personnel performing those procedures are qualified to do so.

I certainly want to thank Mr. Barrow who is a cosponsor of this legislation, a lead cosponsor of this legislation.

ASTRO and its over 10,000 members applaud the leadership of Representatives Whitfield and Barrow for sponsoring the CARE Act.

In a Nation that values due process, not to mention private property, such treatment is unthinkable.
