On the recordNovember 17, 2016
I have closing remarks that I would like to present at this time, and I yield myself the balance of my time. With just a few weeks remaining in this Congress, it is a disservice to the American people that we are now wasting our limited time and resources on this legislation. As many of my colleagues will recall, less than 4 months ago, the House passed comprehensive anti-regulatory legislation that imposes a moratorium on so-called midnight rulemaking. So, clearly, the House has already acted to address the nonexistent problem of midnight rulemaking. In closing, I urge my colleagues to seriously join me in opposing H.R. 5982, a bill that is utterly unnecessary, anointed, and ill conceived. Mr. Chairman, I yield back the balance of my time.
