I just again urge my colleagues to support this good bipartisan bill. I appreciate the kind words always by Mr. Welch. I urge my colleagues to vote ``yes.'' I yield back the balance of my time.

Joe Pitts has been a leader for some of the committee's greatest accomplishments.

No question that improved vehicle fuel efficiency is a worthy goal, no question about it, but not if it reached in a way that harms consumers particularly the most vulnerable.

The good news is that the 2012 standards wisely included a do-over provision in the form of a midterm evaluation that does allow the EPA and NHTSA to adjust the future stringency of the standards in light of changed circumstances.
