I am pleased to yield such time as he may consume to the former chairman of the Education and Labor Committee, the ranking member currently, the gentleman from California, George Miller.

I want to begin our discussion this morning with the reference that Federal regulations impose an annual cost of $1.75 trillion on business. I would like the Members to know that the reference made to this study is the Crain study. I'd…

Would the gentleman from California tell me now or at some future time which health regulations he would like to get repealed or withdrawn?

Yes, sir. The CHAIR. The gentleman from Georgia is now recognized for 1\1/4\ minutes.

If you think that this bill should go further, then why would FDA need to have H.R. 3010 be made more likely to kill regulations that control jobs and health?

I demand a recorded vote. A recorded vote was ordered. The SPEAKER pro tempore. This will be a 5-minute vote. The vote was taken by electronic device, and there were--ayes 253, noes 167, not voting 13, as follows: [Roll No. 888] AYES--253…

Members of the House, it's important for us to realize who else has difficulty in supporting a bill that ends up creating unsafe products, promotes dirty air, and other kinds of harms to our citizenry. The American Lung Association is…

In just a minute I'll be very pleased to. The Environmental Defense Fund, the Friends of the Earth, and the Union of Concerned Scientists are all in agreement with us. And so I want you to know that the medical people that have spoken…

Just a moment. These are not lobbyists. I don't know if these organizations have any offices here. But the Union of Concerned Scientists probably doesn't have any lobbyists. I doubt if the American Lung Association does.

I would, except that your side has far more time than my side does. I reserve the balance of my time.

I yield myself such time as I may consume. I too am prepared to close on this side. Ladies and gentlemen of the House, we have two starkly opposing views of what this bill does. I have over 70 organizations that are from the labor…

I would just like to point out that the Crain study referred to already by the distinguished chairman of the committee, apparently he hasn't found out that it's been held in error in a number of ways but mostly by the Crain study people…

I am pleased to yield 5 minutes to the ranking member of the Courts, Commercial and Administrative Law Subcommittee, the gentleman from Tennessee, Steve Cohen.

I yield myself such time as I may consume. I'm glad my friend is still on the floor because he asked, what do the doctors have to say about this? The doctors oppose the bill. And I'd like to point out, the American Lung Association and the…

I am pleased to yield 1 minute to a distinguished member of our committee, the gentlelady from California, Judy Chu.

I thank the gentlelady from New York. My friend on the other side from Missouri, who is managing the bill, I was happy to hear you say that this measure that we are examining does nothing to hinder the rulemaking process. And I'd like to…

Now that we have established that Quill gives us the authority, as a matter of fact we are encouraged to take some action in this, I think the question really is how do we do it as fairly as we can.

I do support our leadership and this committee's decision to reduce our budget by 6.4 percent in the coming year.

I am less enthusiastic about the continued reduction of congressional budgets as it applies to the Judiciary Committee.

I welcome the continuation of this discussion about an incredibly important proposal. We gather here today to determine whether we should add one more amendment to the 27 amendments to the Constitution that have been enacted since the last…

I am pleased to yield 3 minutes to the gentlewoman from California, Judy Chu, a member of the Judiciary Committee.

Steny Hoyer has been working in leadership for many years. He is now our distinguished whip, and I recognize him for 5 minutes.

I am pleased to yield 3 minutes to the gentleman from New Jersey, a distinguished leader in the Congress, Bill Pascrell.

The gentlelady from Washington, I listened to her very carefully, and she has promulgated one of the greatest misunderstandings in this debate, namely, that the Social Security and Highway Trust Fund are not jeopardized by House Joint…

How much time is remaining? The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman from Michigan has 76\1/4\ minutes remaining.
