This Administration, though, is headed down a dangerous path as it continues to pass up opportunities to uphold the Renewable Fuel Standard.

It is imperative that your Administration choose to stand with American farmers.

We strongly urge you to direct your EPA to reconsider the rule to ensure that your Administration makes good on these promises to 'fight for family farmers and revitalize rural economies.'

It is now more important than ever to uphold the law and ensure our domestic biofuels producers have certainty through fulfilling the statutory obligation of 15 billion gallons of conventional ethanol, annually.

If your Administration makes the unprecedented move to reopen the finalized 2020 RVO, and strip the demand for billions of gallons, the industry will certainly be devastated.

I hope that this is not an indication of the Administration's unwillingness to stand with America's farmers.

They committed, they campaigned to be elected on keeping the promise to America's biofuel producers in upholding the RFS, and all we hear right now is silence.

I have been proud to lead initiatives to strengthen and restore the integrity of the RFS.

In 2018, Democrats and Republicans in the House and the Senate worked to pass the first overhaul of the Congressional Accountability Act of 1995 that Chairperson Lofgren spoke about since it was passed in 1995.

Our overall goal with these reforms was to professionalize the House by bringing more transparency to the process, ensuring bad actors are held accountable, and creating stronger protections for employees.
