"I am going to urge a no vote on this well intended amendment. This would alter the fundamental compromise in this bill."

"This amendment would duplicate that work and would be a major power grab by EPA and a major change to put into their jurisdiction something which is completely outside their scope."

"This bill is a marked improvement over current law. It does represent significant positive compromise."

"I oppose this amendment. With all due respect, I think this is sort of the fire, ready, aim amendment."
