Some of my colleagues are quick to argue that EPA's proposed ozone standard will hurt the economy, but history tells us that cleaning up pollution can benefit the economy as well as human health and the environment.

Is the proposed ozone level an aggressive or overzealous action by EPA as some may claim?

EPA must set each air quality standard based on science and medical evidence alone.

The bottom line here is that, when these projects go off the rails, taxpayer dollars are at risk, and so are important projects that national security depends on.

And what gives the GAO confidence that NNSA or EM, for that matter, can adopt the accident report recommendations on approved oversight, given the findings of your recent report?

Thank you, Mr. Chairman, for letting me, you know, go a little late here.

But what--you know, so, again, I will ask Administrator Creedon and Mr. Whitney. I mean, I guess you've, you know, been kind of answering this question already, but, you know, why should we have any confidence that, you know, things are…

A failure on Congress' part to pass this vital legislation would constitute an egregious affront to the Americans who gave so much on 9/11 in service to their country.

this bill is a critical first step in ensuring that the 9/11 Health Program is extended as soon as possible.

I don't want this program terminated before we have an opportunity to reauthorize it.

the other thing I wanted to--if you could get across is how we can expect an increase among the population that--of these 9/11-related conditions.

Those responders and survivors should not be abandoned, and I hope we can extend the health program without delay.
