I urge my Republican colleagues to work with us in a bipartisan fashion to get the language right.

I was very impressed with the statements you have made so far because you really have been kind of urging caution in terms of how we proceed.

Efforts to combat abusive demand letters have already begun, and some State attorney generals have taken legal action to protect their citizens from unfair and deceptive demand letters.

the effort by Republicans on this committee to push States to 'say no' and refuse to cooperate with EPA is both reckless and dangerous.

I am particularly interested in, Madam Administrator, because my district has some of the highest rates of asthma in the United States.

That blanket extension would be given to all polluters regardless of whether their legal arguments turn out to have any merit.

to delay is to deny, and this certainly is the Just Say No bill.

Just saying no and condemning future generations is not an option.

I think these are all very important points, and I recognize that the draft is not as comprehensive as some past proposals, but I think it would move the ball forward on chemical regulation and improve current law.

I think this draft is a good starting point. Obviously we still have a lot of work to do, but we have had a very good process so far, and I look forward to continuing to work with the chairman and Mr. Tonko.

It seems to me that today's discussion draft would endanger lives and jeopardize health are dramatically weakening and delaying Clean Air Act safeguards.

Chairman Shimkus' new discussion draft, the TSCA Modernization Act of 2015, is a thoughtful and innovative approach that has the potential to move chemical regulation forward.
