The Financial Advisory Board supports the EPA's mission to lower the cost and increase investment in environmental and public health protection. Just to be clear about its role, here are some of the activities the board pursues: ways to lower the cost of environmental protection; removes financial and programmatic barriers that raise costs; increases public and private contribution in environmental facilities and services; and builds State and local financial ability to meet environmental laws. This mission is critical if we want to ensure that the investments we need to make to protect our country from climate change are sound and achievable. Mr. Chair, I oppose this amendment, and I yield back the balance of my time.
