We have to provide the program the resources it desperately needs.

Cleaning up toxic Superfund sites not only reduces health risks, it also helps create jobs during the cleanup.

The main problem facing Superfund is the expiration of the polluter pays tax.

The main problem facing Superfund is the expiration of the polluter pays tax, and the most important thing we in Congress can do is reinstate it.

Congress needs to reinstate the 'polluter pays' taxes so those industries most responsible for polluting our land and water are held responsible for cleaning up our toxic legacy.

For years, I have introduced the Superfund Polluter Pays Act, which would reauthorize the original Superfund fees and make polluters, not taxpayers, pay the costs of cleaning up Superfund sites.

Unfortunately, funding for these cleanups has dropped dramatically since the Superfund tax expired in 1995.

The contaminants at Superfund sites have been shown to cause cancer, birth defects, infertility and other serious health problems.

The Superfund Program is critical to cleaning up the most toxic sites across our country and these sites are shockingly common in my home State of New Jersey.

We appreciate your testimony. This committee, especially the subcommittee, we just really had a pretty good successful run on reforming the TSCA.

Caps always fail. It is just a question of when.

Superfund cleanups are essential for protecting public health and funding has been cut considerably over the last decade.

I want to thank Bob Spiegel, my constituent for testifying before the subcommittee today.

I just hope that we will all work together to do the most important thing that we can do and that is reinstate the Superfund tax.

I think that is just fundamentally wrong. The cost of cleanup should be paid for those who get rich off contaminating these sites.

As Congressman Pallone has said, the responsible parties will do things to stall or delay.

The polluters that caused this problem need to be the ones that pay for it.

It is, therefore, essential that consumers and physicians understand the limitations of each app.

We must also be aware of the potential risks to personal safety, privacy, and data security.

Mobile devices have become an indispensable part of our daily lives, and apps are a major reason why.

I was proud to announce that the Nation's wireless carriers were committing to voluntarily comply with the wireless portions of my bill called the SANDy Act.

Evidence does not support Republican allegations of $500 million of waste, fraud, and abuse in the FCC's Lifeline Program.

I urge you to work swiftly toward a resolution that will benefit consumers.

If my colleagues are serious about eliminating waste, fraud, and abuse in the program, stop these over-the-top accusations.

Lifeline is a successful program that helps more than ten million Americans and we need to protect it.
