On the recordApril 18, 2024
I will be brief. I represent the Motor City--Detroit. I represent the men and women who put America on wheels; and we are very, very proud of that, and we continue to do that and to innovate. They are not asking for the repeal of this rule. Our American automobile companies are not asking for and do not support it. The United Auto Workers--the men and women who are out there doing the innovations and building the vehicles of today and tomorrow--are not asking for this. They do not want this. Do you know what they want? They want certainty, economic certainty. They want stability. They have worked with the administration to craft an approach that is rigorous but that works for them to get to the next level. So I am not sure who this is for and what this is all about, but it is certainly not for the automobile industry and the millions of men and women who work for that industry who have created the middle class of this country. I yield the floor. The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. The Senator from Rhode Island.
