I urge all members to support it.

We all know that robust infrastructure is the skeleton for a healthy economy.

However, all of these activities generate low-level radioactive waste, which must be properly managed, transported and disposed.

Congress provided this responsibility to the States, which were to form interstate compacts to collaborate to site a disposal facility.

We need certainty so that companies can continue to plan their business models for the years ahead.

I inquire of my friend from New Jersey how many speakers he has remaining on his side. We are prepared to close.

the EPA is regulating where the administration failed to legislate, issuing final rules for CO2 emissions

Most members of our committee give personal attention to the needs of the small, rural water service providers in our districts.

these rules take the Clean Air Act in an unprecedented new direction, in which it was never designed to go.

Mr. Harper, Mr. Tonko, and Mr. Shimkus have been exchanging ideas on how to better meet these challenges.

Affordable electricity for heating is absolutely essential for my State, and especially for low-income households.

Today we are examining the Medicare Part D Medication Therapy Management program (MTM).

I am glad we are here today to start talking about making fixes to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and to the industry to ensure that cars are as safe as humanly possible.

This bipartisan bill would strengthen our hand in foreign diplomacy at a time when America has lost its standing on the global stage. By exporting our excess crude oil, we can help our allies seeking a safe and secure supply of energy…

I really thank Chairman Emeritus Barton for doing a really significant, good job on getting this bill bipartisan support and working so hard over the last 18 months or so, and both in the last Congress and this Congress, to get this bill…

Volkwagen has betrayed a nation--a nation of regulators, loyalists, and innocent customers. Either clean it up, or get off the road.

But, ultimately, the saying rings true: cheaters never prosper. That's why we are here today.

If VW is serious about rebuilding this broken trust, its leaders will need to demonstrate a serious commitment to answer these and many other questions prompted by its actions.

I take this very personally. As the author of the TREAD Act to protect the public, Congress was very clear in our work to protect consumers from abuses from automakers, which included steep fines and, yes, criminal prosecution.

VW has betrayed a nation, a nation of regulators, loyalists, suppliers, and innocent customers. It is time to clean it up or get off the road.
