On the recordSeptember 25, 2015

I have two responses. One, this is not President Obama's agenda. This is the agenda of a bipartisan report, Risky Business, the Department of Defense, and a number of other people who have recognized this is a real problem we have to confront. Second, I would say to the gentleman: Let the science work itself out through the process. There is plenty of science that is questioned in the NEPA process. There is no other point at which this body has prevented a discussion of any content except here. Let the process work it out. I will be with you on your timelines. We will get businesses the certainty that they deserve. Mr. Chairman, I yield back the balance of my time. {time} 1000
